Examines how the humanitarian order advances a message of moral
triumph and care while abandoning the dispossessed Prompted by a
growing number of refugees and other displaced people,
intersections of design and humanitarianism are proliferating. From
the IKEA Foundation's Better Shelter to Airbnb's Open Homes
program, the consumer economy has engaged the global refugee crisis
with seemingly new tactics that normalize an institutionally
sanctioned politics of evasion. Exploring "the global shelter
imaginary," this book charts the ways shelter functions as a form
of rightless relief that expels recognition of the rights of the
displaced and advances political paradoxes of displacement itself.
