Dr. Laurie Green is the author of the upcoming book, The Discovery of Hunger in America: A Site of Public Crisis of Race, Health, and American Democracy. Claire Campos O’Neal and Nichole Abshire were so grateful for the historical context she provides for hunger in the US. She walks them through the early governmental programs like Surplus Commodities (1930s) and how it was never meant to address hunger but actually meant to support the farming industry. They move on to the ‘discovery’ of hunger in the 1960s that culminated in the food stamps program. They discuss the barriers created by charging for a program whose beneficiaries have no money. They also discuss the particular language used now–food insecurity—and how it came into our vocabulary in the 1990s in the Clinton administration. Dr. Green is masterful at sharing how the details of history inform our present and how vital it is for fully grasping our current struggles.
