Praise
“This book is a superb guide to the ever-important and fast-evolving work of this ‘proxy profession.’”
—International Affairs
“Anyone studying visual communication in institutional contexts, video activism, or media’s impacts on human rights would greatly benefit from Ristovska’s expansive, unique research in Seeing Human Rights.”
—Human Rights Quarterly
“The impressive richness of nuanced observations makes Seeing Human Rights an important source for everyone interested in understanding how human rights videos from the grassroots are integrated, processed, and chewed up in the machineries of power and decision-making as video activism is turned into a proxy profession.”
—Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
“An engrossing examination of human rights’ media politics that will make a valuable contribution to journalism studies, critical legal and human rights scholarship, and media studies of distant suffering.”
—International Journal of Communication
