Aid workers commonly bemoan that the experience of working in the
field sits uneasily with the goals they've signed up to: visiting
project sites in air-conditioned Land Cruisers while the intended
beneficiaries walk barefoot through the heat, or checking emails
from within gated compounds while surrounding communities have no
running water. Spaces of Aid provides the first book-length
analysis of what has colloquially been referred to as Aid Land. It
explores in depth two high-profile case studies, the Aceh tsunami
and Hurricane Katrina, in order to uncover a fascinating history of
the objects and spaces that have become an endemic yet unexamined
part of the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
