Humanitarian assumptions are challenged by unpacking critical legacies from colonial and missionary genealogies to today’s global networks of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). \u003cem\u003eWho Gives to Whom: Reframing Africa in the Humanitarian Imaginary \u003c\/em\u003eis a decolonial gesture that builds on Ngūgī’s work as well as that of pan-Africanist and intersectional feminist scholars. Contributions range from assessing the impact of historical legacies of colonialism on gender, religious\/secular attempts at “saving” Africans to (South) African unrealized project to reconfigure foreign policy frameworks shaped by apartheid.   Case studies of “silver bullet” solutions  focus on the incorporation of women in peacebuilding, microfinance, and e-waste disposal, to argue that humanitarian interventions continue to mask ongoing forms of despoiling African well-being while shortchanging intersectional African forms of agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Chapter 1.” is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-03-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031465550\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-46553-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 257\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49476893212812,"sku":"9783031465550","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031465550.jpg?v=1777997502","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031465550","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
