Care in a Time of Humanitarianism Summary

Care in a Time of Humanitarianism: Stories of Refuge, Aid, and Repair in the Global South by Arzoo Osanloo

The vast majority of forced migrants & refugees seek shelter and respite in countries of the Global South, where humanitarian spaces and practices of care are no exceptions to international humanitarianism but rather part of a project founded on hybrid forms of care that include local and vernacular practices. Care in a Time of Humanitarianism presents complex histories of forced migration and humanitarianism in an accessible way. It applies a comparative approach to highlight the diverse cultural and religious traditions of care that are adopted across the Global South for the distant others.

Care in a Time of Humanitarianism Reviews

This volume is a timely and seminal contribution to understanding our time when humanitarian crisis unfolds in myriad forms in various sites. The perspectives on humanitarianism from the global South featured in this volume are both rich in their ethnographic grounding and multi-faceted in the analytical insights. Jiazhi Fengjiang, University of Edinburgh
