This review traces anthropological studies of humanitarianism starting in the late 1980s,
when humanitarianism began to take shape as a particular moral and political project
through the formation of transnational nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It follows
both the evolving relationship of anthropologists to humanitarianism—initially as allies, then
as critics, alternately embracing and challenging their conjoined humanist legacy—and the
growing field of the anthropology of humanitarianism.
