Food Bank Nations

Poverty, Corporate Charity and the Right to Food

In the world's most affluent and food secure societies, why is it now publicly acceptable to feed donated surplus food, dependent on corporate food waste, to millions of hungry people? While recognizing the moral imperative to feed hungry people, this book challenges the effectiveness, sustainability and moral legitimacy of globally entrenched corporate food banking as the primary response to rich world food poverty. It investigates the prevalence and causes of domestic hunger and food waste in OECD member states, the origins and thirty-year rise of US style charitable food banking, and its institutionalization and corporatization. It unmasks the hidden functions of transnational corporate food banking which construct domestic hunger as a matter for charity thereby allowing indifferent and austerity-minded governments to ignore increasing poverty and food insecurity and their moral, legal and political obligations, under international law, to realize the right to food. The book's unifying theme is understanding the food bank nation as a powerful metaphor for the deep hole at the centre of neoliberalism, illustrating: the de-politicization of hunger; the abandonment of social rights; the stigma of begging and loss of human dignity; broken social safety nets; the dysfunctional food system; the shift from income security to charitable food relief; and public policy neglect. It exposes the hazards of corporate food philanthropy and the moral vacuum within negligent governments and their lack of public accountability. The advocacy of civil society with a right to food bite is urgently needed to gather political will and advance 'joined-up' policies and courses of action to ensure food security for all.

While recognizing the moral imperative to feed hungry people, this book challenges the effectiveness, sustainability and moral legitimacy of globally entrenched corporate food banking as the primary response to rich world food poverty.

Pesantren Daarut Tauhid

This book presents a case study of the Pesantren Daarut Tauhiid (DT) in Bandung West Java, which represents an emerging trend in recent years in Indonesia, that is the growing popularity of what we refer to here as the 'virtual pesantren'. Employing such a term in relation to the pesantren tradition - a tradition that has existed in Indonesia for many centuries - probably indicates the changing nature of the tradition. Additionally, since there is no formal requirement to be accepted for study in the pesantren, santris often come from a variety of socio cultural backgrounds. In fact, the cyber model stresses diversity and integration rather than uniformity and fragmentation. Pesantren DT, is a model of a newly-developed virtual pesantren, even though the elements of a traditional pesantren setting still remain. Accordingly, both elements will be examined in this work. This book should be especially useful to academicians or anyone else who may be interesting in understanding the tradition and the growing nature of Islamic academic institutions particularly in Indonesia, and their relations with the issues of global social changes.
