Summary, etc This scholarly study argues that acute hunger and famine conditions played a central role in the severe malaria epidemics that affected colonial Punjab during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using mortality statistics, demographic data, and colonial records, Sheila Zurbrigg examines the relationship between food insecurity, famine relief policies, and malaria mortality. The book challenges conventional explanations of epidemic malaria and explores the broader connections between disease, poverty, nutrition, and colonial governance. It is an important contribution to the history of medicine, public health, and colonial South Asia.
