Through the efforts of increasingly media-aware NGOs, people in the
west are bombarded with images of poverty and inequality in the
developing world. Representations of Poverty is the first
comprehensive study of the communications and imagery used by
international NGOs to represent the developing world. In this
meticulously researched and original book, Nandita Dogra examines
the full cycle of representation - integrating analyses of the
public messages of international development NGOs in the UK with
the views of their staff and audiences. Exploring the Europeanised
discourses inherent in appeals to this notion of a 'common
humanity', she argues for a greater acknowledgment of NGOs as
significant mediating institutions which can expand understandings
of global inequalities and their historical causation. The book is
a timely addition to the growing fields of development and media
studies and will be a key resource for academics, policymakers and
practitioners alike who have an interest in global poverty, aid,
NGOs, and the politics of representation.
