*DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE*
An important book by a writer whose accomplishments as a
researcher, critic and activist on famine and on human rights in
Africa are widely respected. It is also a book which is causing
distress and anger in some humanitarian organizations.
*INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS*
If Famine Crimes does not have all the answers, it nevertheless
poses many key questions, and it does so by means of a readable,
provocative and empirical analysis of crises with which the author
has been passionately involved. It is a powerful critique of
current practices that will be a milestone in the literature on aid
and conflict.
