520 |a "This book examines three consecutive famines in Cambodia during the 1970s; it explores both the continuities and discontinuities. Cambodia experienced three consecutive famines set against the backdrop of four distinct governments: Kingdom of Cambodia (1953-1970), the US-supported Khmer Republic (1970-1975), the communist Democratic Kampuchea (1975-1979), and the Vietnamese controlled People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1989). The book draws on an array of theorists, including Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Achille Mbembe. The conceptual framing brings together geopolitics, biopolitics, and necropolitics in an effort to expand our understanding of state-induced famines. I argue that state-induced famine constitutes a form of sovereign violence-a form of power that both takes life and disallows life. The book documents how state-induced famine constitutes a form of sovereign violence and operates against the backdrop of sweeping historical transformations of Cambodian society. It is important, also, to highlight that state-induced famines should not be solely framed from the vantage point in which famine occurs. In other words, to focus on the geopolitics of state-induced famines (states other than Cambodia conditioned the famine in Cambodia)"--  |c Provided by publisher.
