By Irene Bruna Seu and Shani Orgad
With commentaries from Alison Carlman, Leigh Dayness, Paul Hoggett, 
Monika Krause, Sonia Livingstone, Glen Tarman

Drawing on an original UK-wide study of public responses to humanitarian 
issues and how NGOs communicate them, this timely book provides the 
first evidence-based psychosocial account of how and why people respond 
or not to messages about distant suffering. The book highlights what 
NGOs seek to achieve in their communications and explores how their 
approach and hopes match or don't match what the public wants, thinks 
and feels about distant suffering.

Irene Bruna Seu is Reader in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at 
Birkbeck, University of London, UK, and a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.
Shani Orgad is Associate Professor in the Department of Media and 
Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.

"This volume presents cutting edge multi-method research which will 
contribute greatly to our understanding of strategies that can 
successfully motivate bystanders, NGOS, and governments to act in 
positive ways about humanitarian issues. This carefully-designed volume 
offers a careful, incisive analysis and impressively includes essays by 
both influential academics and advocates. A first-rate book!"
- Alison Dundes Renteln, Professor of Political Science, University of 
Southern California, USA)
