It traces the emergence of humanitarian imagery in the West and investigates how the meanings of suffering and aid have been constructed in a period of evolving mass communication, demonstrating the extent to which many seemingly new phenomena in fact have long historical legacies. Ultimately, the critical histories collected here help to challenge existing asymmetries and help those who advocate a new cosmopolitan consciousness recognizing the dignity and rights of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eHumanitarianism \u0026amp; Media \u003cem\u003eproves to be a very insightful, well-written, and interesting book, which is recommendable to students and researchers involved in history and media and communication sciences in general, and the fields of humanitarianism, advocacy, journalism, and their intersections in particular.
