«Seasons of Hunger» is the essay by Stephen Devereux, Bapu Vaitla and Samuel Hauenstein Swan, published by Pluto Press in paperback (184 pages, in English).
It analyzes the seasonal hunger suffered each year by the poor rural population: a predictable cycle of dwindling reserves, rising prices and lack of income. It shows its effect on millions of children and documents it in India, Malawi, Mali and Myanmar, with personal testimonies and national data; it also examines strategies to eradicate it.
Published in 2008 in the Hunger Watch collection, with a foreword by Robert Chambers and a bibliographic index.
A valuable resource for journalists, public policy makers, NGO staff and students of development studies.
