Description

Looking at the child malnutrition and poverty of Mount Kilimanjaro, this text discusses the moral and practical dilemmas posed by the presence of malnourished children in the community. Views of family members, health workers and government officials provide insights into the complex ideas, institiutions and human fallibility that sustain the shame of malnutrition in the mountains. The authors explore the shame associated with child hunger in relation to social organization, colonial history and the global economy.
