RAJ PATEL
Saturday, May 10 at 4:30 p.m.

Scholar/activist Raj Patel, a former policy analyst with Food First who has been on the frontlines of public protest (tear-gassed on four continents), is here with a vital, internationally-praised book on globalization and food, Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System (Melville House). This book looks at how there is obesity and hunger in the world, examines the many players involved. "One of the most dazzling books I have read in a very long time. The product of a brilliant mind and a gift to a world hungering for justice." – Naomi Klein. "Magisterial? The kind of book from which you emerge enlightened, surprised, angry and determined." – The Independent (London). For more information, please see www.stuffedandstarved.org.
