Purchase options and add-ons

This is the first book to examine the shifting relationship between humanitarianism and the expansion, consolidation and postcolonial transformation of the Anglophone world across three centuries, from the antislavery campaign of the late eighteenth century to the role of NGOs balancing humanitarianism and human rights in the late twentieth century. Contributors explore the trade-offs between humane concern and the altered context of colonial and postcolonial realpolitik. They also showcase an array of methodologies and sources with which to explore the relationship between humanitarianism and colonialism. These range from the biography of material objects to interviews as well as more conventional archival enquiry. They also include work with and for Indigenous people whose family histories have been defined in large part by ‘humanitarian’ interventions.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This is the first book to examine the shifting relationship between humanitarianism and the expansion, consolidation and postcolonial transformation of the Anglophone world across three centuries. Together, the collection teases out various issues, such as the relationship between British humanitarian concerns and the uneven imagination and application of emancipation; the fluctuating tensions between ameliorative humanitarianism based around the assumption that British civilisation should be the standard for any policy initiatives and assertive human rights; the specifics of humanitarian governance and practice; the fluid locales of humanitarian donors, practitioners and recipients as decolonisation reconfigured imperial relationships and the overarching question of who Anglo humanitarianism is for and what it is about.

This volume utilises detailed case studies over the longue durée of some three hundred years of Anglophone history, covering the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, with especial attention paid to Australia as the settler colony par excellence. The collection showcases an array of methodologies and sources, ranging from the biography of material objects to interviews as well as more conventional archival enquiry.
