内容説明
Famine Crimes is a factually rich, powerfully intelligent, morally important analysis of the persistence of famine in Africa. Using comparative studies from other parts of the world and a detailed knowledge of specific cases in Africa, de Waal lays the blame for Africa's problems with starvation on the political failings of African governments, western donors, and international relief agencies. The message of this important book is that no one need starve in Africa.

内容説明
Famine is preventable. The persistence of famine reflects political failings by African governments, western donors and international relief agencies.
Can Africa avoid famine?
When freedom from famine is a basic right or a political imperative, famine is prevented. Case studies demonstrate such successes but they are not often acknowledged or repeated.
Who is responsible for the failures?
African governments, western donors and international relief agencies all contribute to the problem.
What is the role of international relief agencies?
Relief has helped to fuel war andundermine democratic accountability.
What is the way forward?
Progress lies in bringing the fight against famine into democratic politics, and calling to account those guilty of creating famine.

内容説明
Famine is conquerable, but in some countries in Africa human suffering seems to be getting more rather than less common. This study argues that humanitarian relief work is a certain kind of political action, and that technical solutions must be evaluated within a political context.
