Braving bandits, disease, and dangerous roads, the China Convoy – a Quaker-sponsored humanitarian unit – delivered medical supplies and provided famine relief in the unoccupied territory of \"Free China\" and later to both sides in the ensuing civil war. \u003cem\u003eChina Gadabouts\u003c\/em\u003e examines the contested 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. Susan Armstrong-Reid explores how this work gave meaning to the women's lives and how they attempted to carve out personal and professional space despite a chaotic, unfamiliar, and occasionally hostile environment. \u003cem\u003eChina Gadabouts\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the ethical dilemmas, professional challenges, and opportunities presented by humanitarian nursing within a Western-based relief organization, while acknowledging its contentious imperial role. In doing so, it spotlights an understudied area of global nursing – its role within INGOs, now more active than ever in global health care.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: From Regional War to Global War, 1941–45\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Part 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Trial by Fire: Early Field Operations, 1941–42\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 A Marriage of Convenience: Courting the Chinese Nurses, 1942–43\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Salween Campaign: Humanitarian Diplomacy, 1944–45\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 \"China Needs Good Men, and Still Better Women,\" British Nurses, 1943–44\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Baoshan: Professionalism, Pacifism, and Proposals, 1944–45\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Navigating New Humanitarian Frontiers, 1945–51\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Part 2 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Road to Honan: Plagues, Cholera, and Devilish Devolutions, 1944–45\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Henan: Hope and Despair, 1945–47\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 \"Early Team\": Guerrilla Warfare Nursing, 1946–47\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Unwelcome Visitors: Negotiating Access with The Communists, 1947–51\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Part 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Nursing beyond the Trenches, 1947–50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Nurse Warriors without Weapons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531070566680,"sku":"9780774835923","price":53.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/china-gadabouts-new-frontiers-of-humanitarian-nursing-1941-51-hardback-9780774835923","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
