Hungry for Change:

"Akram-Lodhi, one of today's foremost activist-scholars on the agrarian question, brings his extensive knowledge of the development of capitalist agriculture to bear on the question of food.... By combining moving testimonies with trenchant analyses ... [he] carefully teaches us 'the intimate and intricate connections between money, markets and the emergence of rural capitalism' to give us an historical and contemporary understanding of why the global food system is so destructive and inequitable."—Eric Holt-Giménez, Food First

"A must-read for anyone who cares about understanding food and the planet today." —Raj Patel, University of California, Berkeley

"If you want to understand how the contemporary global food crisis came about or how an alternative, more just, egalitarian and ecological agrarian system can be developed, then this is the book for you. It reveals a profound understanding of the workings of the global food system and makes you hungry for change. Read it!"—Cristóbal Kay, University of London and FLACSO Ecuador
