There is no question that celebrities these days are some of the most prominent faces of philanthropic activity – yet their participation raises questions about efficacy, motivations and activism overall. This book presents case studies of celebrity philanthropy from around the globe – including such figures as Shakira, Arundhati Roy, Zhang Ziyi, Bono and Madonna – looking at the tensions between celebrity activism and ground-level work and the relationship between celebrity philanthropy and cultural citizenship.
Elaine Jeffreys is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow and associate professor in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney, where Paul Allatson is also associate professor.
