Description

Hunger and Shame examines child malnutrition among the Chagga people of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, exploring why malnourished children persist in a relatively wealthy community. Through perspectives from family members, health workers and government officials, this Routledge publication reveals the complex institutional, cultural and historical forces sustaining child hunger in the mountains. The authors investigate the moral and practical dilemmas posed by malnutrition, connecting the shame associated with child hunger to social organisation, colonial history and the global economy. This anthropological study provides critical insights into how ideas, institutions and human fallibility intersect to create and perpetuate nutritional inequality, offering readers a deeper understanding of poverty's roots and consequences in East African communities.

Key Features

Incorporates multiple perspectives from family members, health workers and government officials to present a comprehensive view of malnutrition's causes and contexts.

Explores the relationship between shame, social organisation and child hunger within a community of relative wealth.

Connects local malnutrition patterns to colonial history and global economic forces affecting Mount Kilimanjaro communities.

Examines the moral and practical dilemmas that arise when malnourished children exist within seemingly prosperous societies.
