520			_a"Paradoxes of Care examines how prominent global aid organizations attempt to care for vulnerable children in Egypt through biomedical interventions and global healthcare programs. Focusing on two main child recipients-street children and out-of-school village girls-this in-depth ethnographic study reveals how global aid fails to "save" these children according to its stated aims but rather produces paradoxes of care for children and local aid workers. In capturing medical humanitarian encounters in real time, Paradoxes of Care illustrates how child recipients and local aid experts grapple, together, with global aid's shortcomings as well as its paradoxical outcomes in Egypt. By foregrounding vulnerable children's responses to global medical aid, this book moves past the unquestioned benevolence of global health in the Middle East to demonstrate how children manage their bodies and lives both with and without the assistance of global medicine"-- _cProvided by publisher.
