"Hunger and Shame" is a passionate account of child malnutrition in
a relatively wealthy populace, the Chagga in Mt. Kilimanjaro,
Tanzania. Views of family members, health workers and government
officials provide insights into the complex of ideas, institutions
and human fallibility that sustain the shame of malnutrition in the
mountains.
Discussing the moral and practical dilemmas posed by the presence
of malnourished children in the community, the authors explore the
shame associated with child hunger in relation to social
organization, colonial history and the global economy. Their
discussions challenge the reader to ask fundamental questions
concerning ethics, the politics of poverty and shame and social
relations.
