This book situates hosting-at-home practices and initiatives within a current expansion of private expressions of humanitarian actions across a range of global contexts. It situates the home as a key site of humanitarian hospitality and considers the implications of hosting-at-home for humanitarian politics writ large and its relationship to wider dynamics and structures of international relations and global politics. Drawing on feminist and decolonial literature, it grounds this analysis in a theorisation of the interconnections between humanitarianism, home, and hospitality, informing a critical understanding of hosting-at-home as a simultaneously every day and global practice, in its spatial, temporal, and relational dimensions. Overall, the book sees hosting-at-home as neither a straightforward alternative to the dominant international humanitarian system and attendant structures of power, nor a simple continuation of this. Instead, given the multiplicity of its various expressions, hosting-at-home occupies an ambivalent position within tensions between care and control, and complicity and solidarity.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of humanitarianism, international relations and politics, and refugee and migration studies. It will be of particular interest no doubt to those curious about how humanitarian responses have changed over time, how international organisations as well as ‘ordinary people’ have responded to humanitarian crises historically and in the present, and the politics of welcoming and caring for people displaced within and across borders.
Gabrielle Daoust is Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and International Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Her research has explored changing forms, spaces, and experiences of humanitarian response, relationships between and responses to environmental and climate change and insecurity, and the political economy of conflict and peacebuilding. Synne L. Dyvik is Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of Sussex, UK. Her research focuses on the gendered and racialised embodiment of humanitarianism, development, and conflict, with a focus on how people engage with and experience global politics. She has previously researched and published widely on the relationship between gender and counterinsurgency warfare, as well as on militarism and embodiment.
