‘The Handbook of Humanitarianism and Inequality is a much-needed remedy to the intellectual monocropping that constitutes much of the research on transnational “helping.” By centering inequality, this Handbook grapples with the most relevant areas of contentious politics of North-South relations and their fundamental conflicts of power. This Handbook is the place to start if you want to understand what is at stake in contemporary humanitarianism(s).’
