Humanitarian Fictions: Africa, Altruism, and the Narrative Imagination
Megan Cole Paustian
Far too often, aid to Africa is envisioned through a tale of Western heroes saving African sufferers. Humanitarian Fictions aims to understand the workings of humanitarian literature, as they engage with and critique narratives of Africa. Paustian shows how the novel can enrich the critique of white saviorism while also imagining alternatives that give African agency its due.
