Reviews

This brilliantly conceptualised book reveals the carceral origins of imperial humanitarianism. Its meticulous interpretation of the processing, exploitation, and experience of 'Liberated Africans' in sites across the British Empire underpins a new understanding of the coloniality of refuge and asylum today. -Clare Anderson, University of Leicester This stunning book constitutes a ground-breaking addition to the literature on slavery and abolition. -Manuel Barcia, author of The Yellow Demon of Fever In this erudite, original, and well-written account of the imperial origins of humanitarian governance Maeve Ryan demonstrates that the past is never past but continues into the present. -Michael Barnett, author of Eyewitness to a Genocide
