This study examines various perspectives of the problem of hunger in the world. Beginning with a descriptive overview, it examines different explanations and remedies, concluding that poverty, and thus hunger, should be seen as the direct resurlt of the prevailing system for the creation of wealth. Thus, while our economic system produces many advantages for some people, it also produces many disadvantages for others. This book is centered on the social forces that generate chronic undernutrition and malnutrition. Those interested in finding cures for this world problem as well as those with an economic background, will realize the importance of this work and its focus.

The Political Economy of Hunger: The Silent Holocaust

Fish, Food, and Hunger: The Potential of Fisheries for Alleviating Malnutrition

Because world hunger continues to be a critical issue in contemporary society, alternative food sources–as well as improved production, processing, and distribution methods–must be found. In this broadly based and thorough study, the author argues that fish production can make a significant contribution toward improving the food supply of impoverished people, serving as a possible remedy for malnutrition. Dr. Kent’s suggestions for maximizing the potential of national and international fisheries to alleviate malnutrition are illustrated with case studies from the Philippines, Thailand, India, Southern Africa, and the Pacific Islands.

Mosby-Year Book

This is the first full-scale biography of Gwendolyn Brooks, one of America's major poets. George E. Kent, a longtime friend and literary associate of the poet in Chicago, was given exclusive access to Brooks' early notebooks, which she kept from the age of seven. Kent also interviewed Brooks, her mother, and other family members in Chicago and elsewhere. He scoured records and correspondence with her publishers, editors, and agent. He participated in the poet's literary enterprises and in her wide circle of literary and family friends. The study reveals intimate acquaintance with the Harlem Renaissance, with the Chicago literary scene and its leading figures from the thirties on, with historical developments in black culture and consciousness, and with the significant figures and activities that impressed the poet's life and art. It places Brooks' work in the context of the civil rights movement, the black arts movement, and black nationalism. Gwendolyn Brooks won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1950 for Annie Allen and is today widely recognized as one of the nation's leading poets, yet her work has received less than its due from mainstream critics. Kent's authoritative book has been one step in correcting that neglect.
