Miriam Baumeister/Thomas Brückner/Patrick Sonnack (eds.), Wo liegt die "humanitäre Schweiz?". Eine Spurensuche in 10 Episoden, Campus Verlag, Frankfurt/New York 2018       Switzerland prides itself on its "humanitarian tradition". But this master narrative is often tied to well-known testimonies: they tell of the aid provided in the world wars and the generous attitude of Swiss donors, they refer to the long-standing activities of Swiss humanitarian institutions. This book seeks new critical perspectives on Swiss humanitarian action in transnational contexts. Divided into five epochs from the 19th century to the present day, it traces the genesis of Switzerland's humanitarian aid. The volume includes contributions by Christian Rohr, Michael Höppner, Irène Herrmann, Gaby Sutter, Daniel Högger, Thomas Brückner, Lillian Brise, Daniel Speich Chassé, Muriel Weyermann, Damir Skenderovic, Robert Dempfer, and Jakob Tanner.
