Braving bandits and disease, the China Convoy - a Quaker-sponsored humanitarian unit - provided medical relief in the unoccupied territory of \"Free China\" and later to both sides in the ensuing civil war. \u003ci\u003eChina Gadabouts\u003c\/i\u003e examines the roles played by Western and Chinese nurses in the Convoy's humanitarian efforts from 1941 to 1951. In so doing, it re-examines the quandaries of Quakers' purportedly apolitical global engagement that remain salient for contemporary humanitarians. \u003ci\u003eChina Gadabouts\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the dilemmas, challenges, and opportunities presented by humanitarian work within a Western-based relief organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Armstrong-Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774835931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774835930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Susan Armstrong-Reid","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447776719103,"sku":"9780774835930","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98cbd177-3910-47d2-948b-401cc8b76360.jpg?v=1777234737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/china-gadabouts-susan-armstrong-reid-9780774835930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
