Description

Exploring why food aid exists and the deeper causes of food poverty, this book addresses neglected dimensions of traditional debates. This book challenges neoliberal governmentality and shows how food charity maintains inequalities of class, race, religion and gender. It argues that the food aid industry is infused with neoliberal governmentality and shows how food charity maintains inequalities of class, race, religion and gender. Drawing upon lived experiences, it documents how food sharing fosters solidarity and gives rise to alternative modes of food redistribution among communities.

Reviews

"... an important addition to current scholarship [which] adds significant weight to existing arguments against charitable food aid, doing so by evidencing the relationship between food aid and the wider institutions prevailing in the UK which create, maintain and exacerbate inequality."
