This book examines film and media representations of the social,
political, and economic issue of human trafficking, one of the most
dramatic challenges of today's globalized world. Hashamova
productively combines fieldwork in NGOs in southeastern Europe,
social science data, and the analysis of Western and East European
anti-trafficking films and media and their reception in the United
States and the Balkans. Her book identifies a disconnect between
the global flow of trafficking images and their local
comprehension. The critical analysis of documentaries, feature
films, video clips, and NGOs' media materials and the responses
they elicit from spectators reveals the flaws of these products and
the ideological structures present both in them and in their
audiences. Acknowledging the uneven quality and impact of all films
and media products, the book, guided by trauma theory, concludes
with an examination of their relative ineffectiveness and inability
to shock the viewer and create a citizen ready to take action
against trafficking. The author seeks to explain why, despite
substantial attention to the problem, communities continue to react
with indifference and denial, and turn a blind eye to the problem.
Screening Trafficking: Prudent or Perilous offers fresh insights to
readers interested in human trafficking and its representations as
well as to policymakers who need to make in well-informed
decisions.
