Recenzii
'This thoughtful history of humanitarianism links three case studies, all involving original research, to an analytical-historical framework for understanding famine relief, whereby the ad hoc efforts of the nineteenth century gave way in turn to more bureaucratized relief (c. 1900-1970) and the more aggressive, media-driven humanitarianism of the present. Well-written and clever, it should attract a broad readership, including policy-makers and civil society activists.' Cormac Ó Gráda, author of Famine: A Short History and co-editor of Famine in European History
'This book is an exciting departure in the history of humanitarianism. Its main innovation is in the authors' use of moral economy to explore in detail the triage and prioritisation famine relief work entailed. Stimulating and rewarding in turn, this book challenges our perception of how the history of aid can be written.' Bertrand Taithe, co-author of The Charity Market and Humanitarianism in Britain, 1870-1912
'Anyone interested to learn more about aid appeals for humanitarian disasters will not be disappointed by this rich account created by Götz, Brewis and Werther. Covering three of the world's most impactful humanitarian disasters, the author's provide a wealth of information full of relevant learnings for scholars, but also philanthropy professionals working on aid appeals for current humanitarian disasters.' Pamala Wiepking, editor of The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy
