by Eleanor Davey
- 1 Want to read
This study charts the course of two activist movements in France, tiers-mondiste and sans-frontiériste, and the process by which one came to displace the other as the dominant way of approaching suffering and injustice in the third world. It is a contribution to the historiography of the post-war transformation of the French intellectual and political landscape and sheds light upon the intellectual origins and evolution of modern French humanitarianism. Covering a period of major international upheavals and domestic transformation in France, it underlines the powerful legacy of Cold War politics for international affairs since the fall of the Iron Curtain. It was joint recipient of the International Studies Association Ethics Section Book Prize (2017).
