- This monograph revises existing narratives of relief efforts in the 1920-21 famine in China, showing that they were not mainly the result of international intervention but began as indigenous action. Comprising 362 pages and based on more than a decade of research, the study depends on extensive and detailed engagement with writings from district gazetteers, stele inscriptions, and the Chinese press. It is both a contribution to the social and governance history of China, and an original and crucially, non-Western, intervention in the emerging field of humanitarian history.
