Reviews
M. Jahi Chappell provides a necessary antidote to those who claim hunger cannot be alleviated. * The Journal of Peasant Studies * It is tempting for socialists to argue simply that the problem is capitalism and that only a socialist, post-capitalist world can feed the world's population healthily and sustainably. M. Jahi Chappell's important study shows that this is wrong. * Climate and Capitalism *

Jahi Chappell provides a necessary antidote to those who claim hunger cannot be alleviated."" * The Journal of Peasant Studies * ""This is a very good book that I imagine will (and should) be adopted for use in a number of upper level undergraduate or graduate classes in the social sciences or interdisciplinary fields such as development studies, environmental studies, and food studies. I have just begun to use the text with my own students this semester and more than a few have remarked on how nice it is to have a relatively positive story as compared to the critiques and narratives of failure they often encounter in the social sciences."" * American Association of Geographers Review of Books *
