The book discusses the connections between race and hunger, both domestically and internationally; presents a personal narrative about hunger and poverty among people of color in the United States; probes the use of racial and geographic stereotypes that U.S. hunger relief organizations use in their fund-raising appeals to the general public; provides a psychological analysis of the link between racial prejudice and hunger; discusses the theory that development assistance programs of the United States are saturated with assumptions of white supremacy; analyzes development agencies and the international media; presents a historical summary of the linkage between hunger and race in the contemporary world; and offers case studies of hunger and race in different national contexts. The last chapter urges all to enter the fight against global apartheid.
