Examining the appearance of nonhuman animals laboring alongside
humans in humanitarian operations  Both critical and
mainstream scholarly work on humanitarianism have largely been
framed from anthropocentric perspectives highlighting humanity as
the rationale for providing care to others. In Nonhuman
Humanitarians, Benjamin Meiches explores the role of animals
laboring alongside humans in humanitarian operations, generating
new ethical possibilities of care in humanitarian practice.
Nonhuman Humanitarians examines how these animals not only improve
specific practices of humanitarian aid but have started to
transform the basic tenets of humanitarianism. Analyzing case
studies of mine-clearance dogs, milk-producing cows and goats, and
disease-identifying rats, Nonhuman Humanitarians ultimately argues
that nonhuman animal contributions problematize foundational
assumptions about the emotional and rational capacities of
humanitarian actors as well as the ethical focus on human suffering
that defines humanitarianism. Meiches reveals that by integrating
nonhuman animals into humanitarian practice, several humanitarian
organizations have effectively demonstrated that care, compassion,
and creativity are creaturely rather than human and that responses
to suffering and injustice do not—and cannot—stop at the
boundaries of the human.

How did a powerful concept in international justice evolve into an
inequitable response to mass suffering? For a term coined just
seventy-five years ago, genocide has become a remarkably potent
idea. But has it transformed from a truly novel vision for
international justice into a conservative, even inaccessible term?
The Politics of Annihilation traces how the concept of genocide
came to acquire such significance on the global political stage. In
doing so, it reveals how the concept has been politically contested
and refashioned over time. It explores how these shifts implicitly
impact what forms of mass violence are considered genocide and what
forms are not. Benjamin Meiches argues that the limited conception
of genocide, often rigidly understood as mass killing rooted in
ethno-religious identity, has created legal and political
institutions that do not adequately respond to the diversity of
mass violence. In his insistence on the concept's complexity, he
does not undermine the need for clear condemnations of such
violence. But neither does he allow genocide to become a static or
timeless notion. Meiches argues that the discourse on genocide has
implicitly excluded many forms of violence from popular attention
including cases ranging from contemporary Botswana and the
Democratic Republic of Congo, to the legacies of colonial politics
in Haiti, Canada, and elsewhere, to the effects of climate change
on small island nations. By mapping the multiplicity of forces that
entangle the concept in larger assemblages of power, The Politics
of Annihilation gives us a new understanding of how the language of
genocide impacts contemporary political life, especially as a means
of protesting the social conditions that produce mass violence.
