Recenzii

'Joy Damousi takes her readers on a captivating journey through the history of generations of Australian humanitarians and their relationships with child refugees. This brilliant, meticulously researched book brings new light to the shifting categories of humanitarianism and transnationalism and their political, moral, and emotional dimensions.' Bruno Cabanes, The Ohio State University
'This is a highly sophisticated, ambitious, and deeply researched book that focuses on children as refugees within the intertwined themes of war and humanitarianism through the twentieth century. It is compelling and original, full of big ideas framed around fascinating biographical studies of humanitarians, many of whom we have never heard of before.' Melanie Oppenheimer, The Australian National University
'Damousi's fine book tells the story of a community of humanitarians, dedicated to protecting children from the ravages of war. It spans the globe and the years from the Great War to the Vietnam War. Here is the story of men and women driving forward a dazzling range of initiatives aiming in different ways to save, evacuate, assimilate or adopt children at risk on account of war. This is social and cultural history at its best.' Jay Winter, Yale University
