Fighting for Darfur

Rebecca Hamilton describes the six-year grassroots campaign to draw global attention to the plight of Darfur’s people. Fighting For Darfur: Public Action and the Struggle to Stop Genocide looks at the advocacy efforts of everyone, from college students who galvanized entire campuses, to celebrities such as Mia Farrow, who spurred politicians to act. She tells the story of the crisis in Darfur, our moral dilemma, and shows the promise and perils of citizen engagement in a new era of global compassion.
