Book Synopsis Carceral Humanitarianism by : Kelly Oliver

Download or read book Carceral Humanitarianism written by Kelly Oliver and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coopted by military operations, humanitarianism has never been neutral. Rather than welcoming refugees, host countries assess the relative risks of taking them in versus turning them away, using a risk-benefit analysis that often reduces refugees to collateral damage in proxy wars fought in the war on terrorism. Carceral Humanitarianism testifies that humanitarian aid and human rights discourse are always political and partisan. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.
