Exploring why food aid exists and the deeper causes of food
poverty, this book addresses neglected dimensions of traditional
food aid and food poverty debates. It argues that the food aid
industry is infused with neoliberal governmentality and shows how
food charity upholds Christian ideals and white privilege,
maintaining inequalities of class, race, religion and gender.
However, it also reveals a sector that is immensely varied,
embodying both individualism and mutual aid. Drawing upon lived
experiences, it documents how food sharing amid poverty fosters
solidarity and gives rise to alternative modes of food
redistribution among communities. By harnessing these alternative
ways of being, food aid and communities can be part of movements
for economic and racial justice.
