Description

This book explores the interaction between anthropology and humanitarianism, focussed on the organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).

The emphasis of the collection is on practising anthropology within humanitarian situations, reflecting on how anthropology contributes to the development of operational response. Each chapter presents an experience of working within a particular MSF project and highlights the real issues that anthropologists of humanitarian practice confront.

The volume will be of interest to scholars of anthropology, development studies and global health, as well as to NGO staff and health professionals.
