Starvation in Africa

By Linley Erin Hall

Undernourishment, hunger, and famine have plagued Africa for decades for many different reasons. Chronic hunger in Africa is caused by economic, social, political, and environmental conditions, many of them interrelated in a complex web of intensifying cause-and-effect. This book examines the history, causes, and potential solutions for food crises in Africa and around the world. A generous array of full-color photos attract the reader's eye and gets him or her immediately interested in this serious and important subject matter.
