Celebrities in the United States have drawn significant attention and resources to the complex issue of human trafficking-a subject of feminist concern-and are often criticized for promoting sensationalized and simplistic understandings of the issue. In this comprehensive examination of celebrities anti-trafficking activism, however Samantha Majic finds that this phenomenon is more nuanced: while some celebrities promote regressive narratives and carceral solutions others use their platforms to elevate more diverse representations of human trafficking and feminist analyses of gender inequality. Lights, Camera, Feminism? thus argues that we should understand celebrities as multilevel political actors whose activism is shaped and mediated by a range of factors, with implications for feminist and democratic politics more broadly.
