Enough

11/1/2009

Endless fields of crops stretch out across the world, with more food produced than ever before. Yet, over 9 million people die each year due to hunger and related diseases, with the majority of those deaths occurring in Africa. In "Enough", Roger Thurow sets out to uncover why the Green Revolution failed to eliminate hunger in Africa, while succeeding in South America and Asia. He exposes how American, British, and European policies contributed to the ongoing crisis, keeping Africa hungry and unable to feed itself. By weaving together compelling stories of those affected and insightful analysis of policy decisions, Thurow provides an urgent call to action to resolve this humanitarian crisis. "Enough" is a powerful and thought-provoking book that is essential reading for anyone interested in social justice and creating a more equitable world.
