The Sino-Japanese War (1937–45) had a devastating impact on
China’s population. Braving bandits and disease, the China Convoy
– a Quaker-sponsored humanitarian unit – provided medical
relief in the unoccupied territory of “Free China” and later to
both sides in the ensuing civil war. China Gadabouts examines the
roles played by Western and Chinese nurses in the Convoy’s
humanitarian efforts from 1941 to 1951. In so doing, it re-examines
the quandaries of Quakers’ purportedly apolitical global
engagement that remain salient for contemporary humanitarians.
China Gadabouts illuminates the dilemmas, challenges, and
opportunities presented by humanitarian work within a Western-based
relief organization.
