Abstract:
Media, Mobilization, and Human Rights investigates the assumption that exposure to human rights violations in countries far away causes people to respond with activism. Including case studies on the impact of media images on humanitarian intervention in Somalia, the influence of celebrity activism, and the role of social media, this collection presents radical new ways of thinking about the intersection of portrayals of human suffering and activist responses to them.
