FOREWORD

Dr. Fabienne Le Hourou draws upon a wealth of literature and on oral testimonies to explore the twin notions of humanitarian crisis and humanitarian intervention. Le Hourous interviews from various anthropological films lend intimacy to those most affected by humanitarian crises: refugees. Le Hourous poignant reflections on her firsthand experience with refugees underscores the significance of her conclusions.

Le Hourous approach eschews reductive readings of the humanitarian crises as simply historical events, but couples close readings of catastrophes with the portrayals of those living the implications. In doing so, she broadens the scope of her critique of humanitarian crises to include humanitarianism.

Dr. Fabienne Le Hourous conclusions contrast with those from a recent book, Vingt ans dans lombre du chapitre VII: Eclairage sur deux dcennies de coercition l'encontre de l'Iraq (Harmattan, 2013) by Coralie Pison Hindawi. Hindawi claims the United Nations Security Councils (UNSC) coercive actions against Iraq from 1990 to 2003 (sanction, no-fly-zone, military intervention, occupation) led to utter catastrophe, and qualifies her conclusion to oppose coercive humanitarianism. On the other hand, Le Hourous methodology and ambitious efforts to map the evolution of humanitarian crises demonstrates nuance. For example, Le Hourou deplores the lack of military interventions in the case of Rwanda, which resulted not only in the genocide of 800,000 Tutsi- Rwandans, but also generated another conflict and civil war in Congo.

Despite agreement by both authors on the role of human suffering for geopolitical gains, the selectivity of the UNSC, and the seminal role for great powers (including China and Russia) in interventions, I found Le Hourous conclusions much more disenchanted and realistic than those proffered by Hindawi. Hindawi warns against the banality of coercion in the post-cold wars international relations paradigm. Yet Dr. Fabienne Le Hourou extrapolates a range of factors for the reluctance of the international community to intervene in many instances.
