The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Philanthropy and Humanitarianism This handbook builds a shared understanding of the troubling politics of philanthropy and the disturbing history and practices of humanitarianism. While historical work on philanthropy has long suggested a link between imperial rule and humanitarian aid these insights have only recently been brought to bear on contemporary forms of giving. In this book contributors link the long history of colonial philanthropy to current foundations and their programs in education health migrant care and other social initiatives. They argue that both philanthropy and humanitarianism often function to consolidate market rule consolidating and expanding liberal market rationalities of neoliberal entrepreneurialism to a widening population and set of institutions. Philanthropy and humanitarianism share a history growing together out of modernist socio-economic relations and modes of imperial rule. However the histories and contemporary politics of the two have not been brought together with such breadth or under such a critical lens before. Discussing philanthropy and humanitarianism together combining both historical scope and contemporary iterations highlights continuities and convergences—making the volume a unique introduction and critical overview of critical work in these sister-fields. | The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Philanthropy and Humanitarianism GBP 190.00 1
