Writing the History of Neoliberalism: A Comment
This series of comments brings together four historians of neoliberalism, each of whom focuses on a different part of the world but whose work has implications that are transnational if not global. Quinn Slobodian reconstructs the rise of the category of neoliberalism among historians and identifies the different paths of inquiry it is generating. Priya Lal, offering an Africanist’s perspective, moves beyond the reduction of the neoliberal narrat…

The Solidarity Economy: Nonprofits and the Making of Neoliberalism after Empire
The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empire After India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of em…

Britain and the World: A New Field
Over the past decade, historians, journals, conferences, and even job advertisements have devoted attention to a new field of inquiry, "Britain and the world." This emergent category is far from coherent but, despite a variety of approaches, shares a common assumption that Britain's interactions with the world beyond its shores enable us to better understand the histories of both Britain and the globe. Writing the history of Britain from a compar…
History and Humanitarianism: A Conversation
There has been an undeniable interest in recent years in the history of humanitarianism.It is a field that has grown quickly and, as a field of inquiry, it incorporates a vast spectrum of subjects: from the history of anti-slavery movements in the eighteenth century, emergency relief in times of famine in the nineteenth, responses to refugee crises in the twentieth, through to longer-term development and poverty eradication programmes during and …
From Empire to Humanity: The Russian Famine and the Imperial Origins of International Humanitarianism
This article investigates the imperial origins of international humanitarianism in the British and international relief mission to Russia during the famine of 1921-1922. The famine triggered the first large-scale international humanitarian mission beyond the scope of the European and American empires. Imperial expertise and knowledge became central to the British as well as international humanitarian response to relieve hungry Russia. From intern…
Milking the Third World? Humanitarianism, Capitalism, and the Moral Economy of the Nestlé Boycott
This article traces the history of the Nestl e ́ boycott, one of the most well-known and successful boycotts of the 1970s. As part of the campaign to end bottle-feeding in Third World societies, it called for the global regulation of controversial marketing strategies implemented by Western formula companies. The story adds a crucial yet understudied aspect of rights discourse in the 1970s, when humanitarian activists strove to reform the global …
Practising the British way of famine: Technologies of relief, 1770–1985
In the past 200 years Britons have responded to famines in particular ways. This article explores these particularities by focusing not simply on the remarkably unchanging humanitarian representation of the victims of famine but on the changing technologies through which relief was collected and distributed. It shows how technologies of famine relief were created from the need to govern colonial populations rather than from the development of new…
