"Hunger strikes and fasts became familiar forms of prison protest around the world in the twentieth century. Last Weapons explains how and why this happened. It traces the proliferation of the use of hunger in protest throughout the British Empire, focusing on Great Britain, Ireland, and India. It follows a global process of inspiration and adaptation across political and cultural boundaries, demonstrating the power of hunger to challenge the justice of law and the moral authority of governance"--Provided by publisher.
