MSF CRASH (Centre de Réflexion sur l’Action et les Savoirs Humanitaires), working under the auspices of Doctors Without Borders, has recommended works by Professor Louisa Lombard and Professor Panter-Brick on their summer reading list.
Professor Lombard’s State of Rebellion: Violence and Intervention in the Central African Republic (Zed Books 2016) is “an important read against the background of ever-increasing violence in the Central African Republic and given the few high-quality books that deal with the country’s political and social dynamics.”
Professor Panter-Brick’s Medical Humanitarianism: Ethnographies of Practice (co-authored with Sharon Abramowitz, University of Pennsylvania Press 2015) is “one of the most interesting books on the humanitarian sector published in recent years, both in terms of the diversity of situations studied (a dozen) and the density of most of the chapters that make up the book.”
