Traditionally, humanitarianism is considered a nonpolitical urgent response to human suffering. However, this characterization ignores the context of the politics that created the crises in the first place. In The Politics of Crisis-Making, Estella Carpi exposes how the politics of defining crises affect the social identity and membership of the displaced.
