摘要

爱尔兰大饥荒是一个前所未有的全球捐赠时刻。对受苦受难的爱尔兰人的同情跨越了阶级等级和广阔的地理空间,西印度群岛的契约工人与王室成员一起捐款,并参加了纽约、伊丽莎白港和萨里的慈善舞会和晚会。本文考察了这种捐赠的社会经济地理位置。它提供了一种定量分析,将大西洋两岸的捐款汇集在一起,将这些捐助者视为一个单一的全球社会。这种饥荒救济也被认为是在西方人道主义的更广泛传统的背景下进行的。文章指出,尽管饥荒人道主义动员了一个庞大的捐助者群体,跨越了阶级、性别和种族群体,但它最终是一股保守的力量,维护了社会等级制度,并复制了西方人道主义更普遍的社会经济和种族不平等特征。

“A Painful and Tender Sympathy Pervaded Every Class of Society”
The Great Irish Famine was a moment of unprecedented global giving. Sympathy for the suffering Irish traversed class hierarchies and vast geographical spaces, with indentured workers in the West Indies donating alongside members of the royal family and attendees at charity balls and galas in New York, Port Elizabeth, and Surrey. This article examines the socioeconomic geographies of this giving. It provides a quantitative analysis that brings together donations from both sides of the Atlantic, approaching these donors as a single global community. This famine giving is also considered within the context of wider traditions of Western humanitarianism. The article suggests that although famine humanitarianism mobilized a vast community of donors and traversed class, gender, and ethnic groups, it was ultimately a conservative force that upheld social hierarchies and replicated the socioeconomic and racial inequalities that characterize Western humanitarianism more generally.

For more than a quarter of a century, Radical History Review has stood at the point where rigorous historical scholarship and active political engagement converge. The journal is edited by a collective of historians—men and women with diverse backgrounds, research interests, and professional perspectives. Articles in RHR address issues of gender, race, sexuality, imperialism, and class, stretching the boundaries of historical analysis to explore Western and non-Western histories.
