Consacré à la Transition humanitaire à Madagascar, ce troisième volume de la collection Devenir Humanitaire est le fruit de la rencontre d'universitaires, d'acteurs non gouvernementaux et d'institutionnels, réunis à Antananarivo 29 et 30 novembre 2016 par le Fonds Croix-Rouge française pour débattre sur leurs pratiques, les principes et les enjeux de l'humanitaire. La première partie de l'ouvrage présente une mise en contexte des principaux enjeux humanitaires qui traversent la Grande île. La deuxième partie s'intéresse aux interactions et aux configurations de pouvoir particulières qui donnent sa forme spécifique au champ de l'aide à Madagascar. Une dernière partie propose enfin un focus sur le système de santé malgache, qui est au coeur des préoccupations nationales et internationales, notamment face aux crises multiformes dont le pays est le théâtre. Soulignant la nécessité de prendre en compte les « visions du monde » des populations destinataires de l'aide, les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume soutiennent une réflexion sur le sens de l'humanitaire.

De nos jours, peut-on encore soutenir qu'il y a un déni généralisé de la mort dans notre société? La mort médicalisée n'a-t-elle pas effacé ce déni? En Europe et en Amérique du Nord où l'on craint de vieillir mal et où l'on craint de mourir mal, la mort y est de plus en plus médicalisée. Une conséquence découle de cette réalité : mourir aidé par la médecine ou mourir en milieu médicalisé est devenu une pratique courante admise comme une habitude sociale.

Dr Wilfred Grenfell, physician and folk hero, recruited thousands of volunteer workers for his Newfoundland and Labrador seamen's mission, many of them Americans from Ivy League institutions. As the medical mission grew to become the International Grenfell Association, establishing institutions along the Labrador and northern Newfoundland coasts, Americans also became resident staff leaders in the region, and Grenfell himself married an American, Anne MacClanahan, who led mission activities. The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s reveals the nature and extent of support from Americans throughout the distributed privately run social enterprise until the 1940s, before the region joined Canada. Essays explore the organization's claims to share an Anglo-Saxon heritage with the United States, American reaction to its financial scandal and creation of an incorporated association, its promotion of sport and masculinity, and the development of education and schools in the region and the mission. The organization's strong ties to the United States are exemplified by Grenfell's friendship with American physician John Harvey Kellogg; the donation of clothing from American donors; the work of one American woman on her affiliated mission unit; the impact of American philanthropy and training on the construction of the mission's main hospital in St Anthony; and the superior American-accredited health care facilities and their clinical achievements. From its corporate base in New York City, the International Grenfell Association blended contemporary social movements and adopted American notions of philanthropy. The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s offers the first thorough history of an iconic health and social organization in Atlantic Canada.
