Most studies of famine and the African food crisis stress how the
socio-economic context influences the occurrence of food shortages.
By contrast, this book argues that food insecurity itself
influences the social and economic organization of the society.
Through this approach, the author provides a new interpretation of
the causes and consequences of Tanzania's present economic crisis.
The book examines the effects of changing food availability on the
functioning of the state, the market and clientage networks, over
the past seven decades. The conclusion is that clientage is no less
important than the state and market as an organizational force in
Tanzanian society, and, under heightened food insecurity, the state
and market lose ground to clientage.
