Sinopse

Famine expert Christine Kinealy examines the influences that shaped the responses to the Famine of 1845-52. The key factors she analyses include political ideologies, providentialist ideas that read the potato blight as a judgement from God, opportunistic interpretations, the role of civil servants, Irish landlords and merchants.
