Hunger and Poverty in South Africa: The Hidden Faces of Food
Insecurity explores food insecurity as an issue of socioeconomic,
political, cultural and environmental inequity and inequality.
Based on extensive original research in Free State Province, South
Africa, the book explores how people living in poverty make meaning
of their food circumstances within the socio-cultural, political
and economic contexts of post-apartheid South Africa, how they view
the government's food security policies and programs and their
perceived agency to affect change. The personal narratives
contained in the book show that food insecurity is shaped by many
issues, among which are structural poverty, racism, attempts or
non-attempts at reconciliation during and after apartheid, public
health issues such as HIV/AIDS, and environmental circumstances. At
a time when most discourse around food insecurity focuses on how to
provide more food to people facing hunger, this book's
multidimensional approach is a valuable contribution to the
contemporary dialogue on poverty, food security/insecurity,
sustainability and democratic agency both within South Africa and
around the world. This book will be of interest to researchers in
the areas of food security, multidimensional poverty, democratic
agency and sustainable development, both in South Africa and
internationally.
