The Politics of Suffering examines the confluence of international
aid, humanitarian relief, and economic development within the space
of the Palestinian refugee camp. Nell Gabiam describes the
interactions between UNRWA, the United Nations agency charged with
providing assistance to Palestinians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli
war, and residents of three camps in Syria. Over time, UNRWA's
management of the camps reveals a shift from an emphasis on
humanitarian aid to promotion of self-sufficiency and integration
of refugees within their host society. Gabiam's analysis captures
two forces in tension within the camps: politics of suffering that
serves to keep alive the discourse around the Palestinian right of
return; and politics of citizenship expressed through development
projects that seek to close the divide between the camp and the
city. Gabiam offers compelling insights into the plight of
Palestinians before and during the Syrian war, which has led to
devastation in the camps and massive displacement of their
populations.
