Good Project

Humanitarian Relief NGOs and the Fragmentation of Reason

Edición de la obra The Good Project

Since the late 1980s humanitarianism has come to dominate western responses to distant suffering. Whether it is a sudden disaster or a long-running crisis, we look to NGOs like the Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, CARE, and Save the Children to help.
