Hungry for Revolution tells the story of how struggles over food fueled both 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, the author 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.
