Download or read book Famine and Foreigners: Ethiopia Since Live Aid written by Peter Gill and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrible 1984 famine in Ethiopia focused the world's attention on the country and the issue of aid as never before. Anyone over the age of 30 remembers something of the events - if not the original TV pictures, then Band Aid and Live Aid, Geldof and Bono. Peter Gill was the first journalist to reach the epicentre of the famine and one of the TV reporters who brought the tragedy to light. This book is the story of what happened to Ethiopia in the 25 years following Live Aid: the place, the people, the westerners who have tried to help, and the wider multinational aid business that has come into being. We saved countless lives in the beginning and continued to save them now, but have we done much else to transform the lives of Ethiopia's poor and set them on a 'development' course that will enable the country to do without us?

Book Synopsis Ethiopia, the Politics of Famine by : James Finn
Download or read book Ethiopia, the Politics of Famine written by James Finn and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1990 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War, famine, pestilence and doctrinaire Marxist-Leninist dictatorship; these are the four horsemen of modern Ethiopia's particular apocalypse. They have combined with one another into a brew more poisonous even than the sum of its parts. Just how a people of such ancient culture and proud history, and of such intelligence and sophistication, could have come to this sad fate requires some words of explanation. That the name Ethiopia has, over the past two decades, become synonymous with starvation, civil war and man's massive inhumanity to his fellow man, is a source of deep pain to Ethiopians everywhere o those in the growing Ethiopian diaspora as much as to those who remain within Ethiopia's borders and of bewilderment and puzzlement to others. There must be a reason for it. This volume, the result of a recent symposium that included two very distinguished former high officials of the Mengistu regime, provides much of the answer.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of African Famine by : R. E. Downs
Download or read book The Political Economy of African Famine written by R. E. Downs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991. This volume explores the combination of political and economic forces that influence different levels of food supply. The book begins with a discussion of famine theories, ranging from cultural ecology to neo-Marxism. Following this survey is a series of essays by anthropologists, geographers, economists and development practitioners that explores the role of Western institutions in African famine, analyzes famine in particular countries, and documents the relationship between famine and gender. This book takes an unusually broad look at famine by including analyses of countries where hunger has rarely been studied and by examining African famine from both African and Western perspectives. Its concluding proposals for eradicating famine make innovative and provocative contributions to current global debates on food and nutrition.

Book Synopsis Reluctant Aid Or Aiding the Reluctant? by : Steven Varnis
Download or read book Reluctant Aid Or Aiding the Reluctant? written by Steven Varnis and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Makes a persuasive case that the Marxist government of Ethiopia induced famine and was reluctant to obtain or use this benevolent aid to provide effective relief until its contribution to the achievement of revolutionary goals could be assured. . . . Varnis skillfully documents the intricacies of PVO (private voluntary organization) actions to merge government donor and recipient policies. In so doing, he successfully refutes Third World dependency theory doctrines but paints a gloomy picture of continuing food deficits in Ethiopia's future." --T. M. Vestal, Choice "A welcome contribution. He provides a detailed, clear-headed, and accurate analysis of U.S. famine relief to Ethiopia in 1983-86, when good aid was used by the Marxist-Leninist regime for political, military, and ideological ends. Asks all the rights questions and provides most of the right answers." --Michael Radu, Orbis This book undertakes a systematic analysis of responsibilities for the 1983-86 Ethiopian famine and its relief, drawing upon a wide range of materials and personal observation in Ethiopia itself. The policy sources of the famine are described in detail, assessing regional variations in Ethiopian food policy and the inducement of famine.
Book Synopsis Reporting Disasters by : Suzanne Franks
Download or read book Reporting Disasters written by Suzanne Franks and published by Hurst. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The media reporting of the Ethiopian Famine in 1984-5 was an iconic news event. It is widely believed to have had an unprecedented impact, challenging perceptions of Africa and mobilising public opinion and philanthropic action in a dramatic new way. The contemporary international configuration of aid, media pressure, and official policy is still directly affected and sometimes distorted by what was--as this narrative shows--also an inaccurate and misleading story. In popular memory, the reporting of Ethiopia and the resulting humanitarian intervention were a great success. Yet alternative interpretations give a radically different picture of misleading journalism and an aid effort which did more harm than good. Using privileged access to BBC and Government archives, Reporting Disasters examines and reveals the internal factors which drove BBC news and offers a rare case study of how the media can affect public opinion and policymaking. It constructs the process that accounts for the immensity of the news event, following the response at the heart of government to the pressure of public opinion. And it shows that while the reporting and the altruistic festival that it produced triggered remarkable and identifiable changes, the on-going impact was not what the conventional account claims it to have been.
