Abstract

"Aiding Ireland" by Anelise Hanson Shrout explores the global humanitarian relief efforts during the Irish Famine in the 1840s, focusing on the diverse political uses of the famine and the strategic deployment of relief efforts. The book delves into various perspectives, including debates on free trade, imperial obligation, US expansionism, land reform, and slavery. Shrout's work sheds light on the malleability of famine aid and its role in shaping international philanthropy, making it a valuable contribution to understanding the transatlantic reception of the famine and histories of disaster response.
