Originally published in 1990. Produced by the Task Force on African
Famine of the American Anthropological Association, this is the
first of a multi-part project dealing with the long-term and
ongoing food crisis in Africa primarily at the level of local
production-the microperspective. It offers a series of
anthropological and ecological views on the cause of the current
problem and on coping strategies used by both indigenous people and
developmental planners. The three sections of this volume review
current explanations for food problems in Africa, focusing mainly
on production and consumption at the household level; they offer a
number of perspectives on the environmental, historical, political,
and economic contexts for food stress, and include a series of case
studies showing the ways in which Africans have responded to the
threat of drought and hunger. The extent of research and the degree
of scholarship involved in the production of this volume recommend
it to all persons concerned with this ultimately global dilemma,
particularly those involved in planning and relief efforts.
