Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Challenges the status quo of modern studies of food systems by analyzing the dynamics of supply and demand, famine, and the history of food in one African region and placing the object of his focus within the larger framework of international food studies.
Product Description
In this groundbreaking work, Mandala argues that there is more to food studies than the analysis of famine— that hunger exists only as an integral part of abundance. Basing his case on the history of southern Malawi, he identifies several factors that explain why, though notorious for its annual food deficits, the region is not a land of frequent famine. By proving that seasonal hunger does not lead to famine in the absence of political crisis, and showing in detail how rare events get their meaning from the everyday, Mandela underscores the need to understand the daily and seasonal routines of food cultivation and eating in their own right.
