Review: Peter Redfield: Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors Without Borders
- Abstract:
- Humanitarian action has attracted increased anthropological interest in the past decade. Life in Crisis is a significant addition to this literature: the first book-length ethnographic monograph of a medical humanitarian non-governmental organization. It is the product of nearly ten years’ reflection on the medical aid group Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders or MSF). Since 2003 Peter Redfield has spent time in MSF’s projects in Uganda and at various international offices. His work draws on these experiences, as well as in-depth reading of reports, press materials and reflections by and about the organization.
