Description
Didier Fassin draws on case materials from France, South Africa, Venezuela and Palestine to explore the meaning of humanitarianism in the contexts of immigration and asylum.

Moral sentiments have become an essential force in contemporary politics: they nourish its discourses and legitimize its practices, particularly where these discourses and practices are focused on the disadvantaged and the dominated, whether at home (the poor, the immigrants, the homeless) or farther away (the victims of famine, epidemics, or war).
