A novel account of the politics of humanitarianism in Lebanon, especially in its choice to examine the lived experiences of both displaced citizens as well as migrants and refugees. --Kelsey Norman, author of Reluctant Reception This sensitive account of humanitarian responses to aging emergencies and repeated crises in Lebanon offers vital insights into the global and local politics of aid. Estella Carpi's careful ethnographic attention to the dynamics of aid provision reveals the complex ways people live with and against each other in humanitarian settings. --Ilana Feldman, George Washington University Carpi's book reminds us that displacement is not merely a humanitarian issue--as the crisis rubric wants us to think--but it entails class, race, and labor politics, all aspects that the humanitarian system does not aim to address yet acts on --Sari Hanafi, American University of Beirut
