A great review thanks to Tobias Denskus, a Senior Lecturer in Communication for Development in the School of Arts and Communication at Malmö University in Sweden! To read the full review, click here.
It is difficult to do the book justice by highlighting a few themes, vignettes and quotes. Chasing Misery is a mature, well-written and –edited anthology that represents many of the aspects that make aid work(er) literature important and powerful.
Whether you add the book as a teaching resource, share it as an inspiration for students to reflect on their own professionalism or give it as a gift to aspiring aid workers or curious ‘civilians’, this is a book that should be shared widely.
