Tracing the century-long history of attempts to remake refugees into cut-rate, disposable migrant labour, Robson elucidates global humanitarianism's deep-seated commitment to refugee exploitation and containment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe advent of internationalist refugee aid has long been told as an inspirational story of humanitarians fighting tirelessly for a system that would recognise and guarantee the rights of displaced and dispossessed people.
