Bread from Stones, a highly anticipated book from historian Keith
David Watenpaugh, breaks new ground in analyzing the theory and
practice of modern humanitarianism. Genocide and mass violence,
human trafficking, and the forced displacement of millions in the
early twentieth century Eastern Mediterranean form the background
for this exploration of humanitarianism's role in the history of
human rights. Watenpaugh's unique and provocative examination of
humanitarian thought and action from a non-Western perspective goes
beyond canonical descriptions of relief work and development
projects. Employing a wide range of source materials literary and
artistic responses to violence, memoirs, and first-person accounts
from victims, perpetrators, relief workers, and diplomats
Watenpaugh argues that the international answer to the inhumanity
of World War I in the Middle East laid the foundation for modern
humanitarianism and the specific ways humanitarian groups and
international organizations help victims of war, care for
trafficked children, and aid refugees. Bread from Stones is
required reading for those interested in humanitarianism and its
ideological, institutional, and legal origins, as well as the
evolution of the movement following the collapse of the Ottoman
Empire and the advent of late colonialism in the Middle East.
