Description

Celebrity Humanitarianism examines the rise of entertainment stars, billionaires, and activist NGOs in global charity work over the past two decades. Drawing on Slavoj i ek's theoretical framework, this critical analysis argues that celebrity-driven humanitarian initiatives legitimise and promote neoliberal capitalism rather than address global inequality. The book challenges the perception of celebrity charity as purely altruistic, revealing how these high-profile interventions are significantly compromised by deeper ideological and economic interests. Essential reading for understanding the complex relationship between celebrity culture, humanitarian work, and structural global inequality in contemporary society.

Key Features

Examines celebrity humanitarianism through the lens of Slavoj i ek's theoretical work on ideology and capitalism.

Analyses prominent figures including Bob Geldof, Bono, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Bill Gates, and George Soros in global charity.

Published by Routledge as part of the Interventions series, addressing critical contemporary social issues.

Argues that celebrity-led humanitarian initiatives legitimise neoliberal economic systems rather than challenge structural inequality.

Explores how NGOs and entertainment industry figures shape global development discourse and policy outcomes.
