Hungry for Revolution tells the story of how struggles over food fueled the rise and fall of Chile' s Popular Unity coalition and one of Latin America' s most expansive social welfare states. Reconstructing ties between workers, consumers, scientists, and the state, historian Joshua Frens-String explores how Chileans across generations sought to center food security as a right of citizenship. In doing so, he deftly untangles the relationship between two of twentieth-century Chile' s most significant political and economic processes: the fight of an emergent urban working class to gain reliable access to nutrient-rich foodstuffs and the state' s efforts to modernize its underproducing agricultural countryside.
Joshua Frens-String is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin and an associate of the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS).
