Description: Starving on a Full Stomach : Hunger and the Triumph of Cultural Racism in Modern South Africa, Paperback by Wylie, Diana, ISBN 081392068X, ISBN-13 9780813920689, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Wylie (history, Boston U.) takes her title from the response of one African's 1938 reply to whites inquiring about the health of his community. His complaint that people were "starving on a full stomach" is taken by her as an example of how the loss of traditional agricultures and the transition to a cash-based economy led to endemic and class-based malnutrition. Efforts to address this problem by whites were, more often than not, hindered by cultural and racial blinders, even if those attempting to help were often well meaning. Wylie examines the history of these sometimes-sincere efforts of "experts" to frame arguments of popular nutrition, national well-being, and ethics. The resulting work explores the politics of food as it was practiced in urban townships, periurban plots, and rural reserves in modern South Africa under Apartheid. Annotation c.
