Tylor Brand called Beirut home for six years. He is currently Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Trinity College, Dublin.
"""Famine Worlds is a tour de force of history and theory. Tylor Brand recovers the silenced cultural and economic history of the famine of Lebanon, and makes it speak vitally to current debates on mass trauma in Lebanon and beyond. A must read for historians, anthropologists, and relief workers in our age of climate change.""—Elizabeth Thompson, author of How the West Stole Democracy from the Arabs ""One of the forgotten famines of the past is the tragedy that struck the mainly Maronite population of mountainous north Lebanon during World War I. Tylor Brand's study of a famine that will henceforth be better known is erudite and accessible, fair and empathetic. A great book.""—Cormac Gráda, author of Famine: A Short History and Eating People is Wrong: Essays on the History and Future of Famine ""Famine Worlds offers a fascinating window into a period often overlooked, and lucidly recounts the trials, tribulation, and turmoil of everyday people during the Great War. A highly recommended read and, without a doubt, a significant and thoroughly elucidating contribution to the history of the modern Middle East.""—Leila Fawaz, author of A Land of Aching Hearts: The Middle East in the Great War"
