| Sumario: | "In Capitalist Humanitarianism, Lucia Hulsether reveals how left critiques of capitalism have been capitulated into efforts to reform and rebuilt capitalist institutions. From initiatives in the 1980s such as the fair trade chain Ten Thousand Villages to microfinance programs in Central America, humanitarians in the global North have brought capitalist institutions to the global South in the hope that free market projects can be part of feminist, decolonial, and anti-racist solidarity. Hulsether argues that these capitalist humanitarian projects must be understood through their relationship to Christianity. Writing against what she points to as a misguided attempt to redeem capitalist logics as part of a reparative commitment to transformative worldmaking, Hulsether shows that left critiques have become incorporated into neoliberal logics, making way for new institutional hegemonies that continue to expand racial and neocolonial disposession."-- |
