«La fam al món explicada al meu fill» is the popular essay by Jean Ziegler, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (128 pages, in Catalan).
In a dialogue with his son, Jean Ziegler explains the causes of hunger in the world and dismantles the excuses of rich countries for not acting. With data on malnutrition, he denounces multinationals and lobbies that foster government passivity, and answers frankly the questions children ask.
Translated from French into Catalan by Salut Renom Llonch, in the Biblioteca Universal Empúries collection.
Suitable for young readers beginning to take an interest in social issues, as well as for parents and educators who want to address the topic with them.
