"""Ayesha Jehangir draws deeply on a range of scholarship, along with hard-won journalistic experience, to offer a passionately argued and supremely well-attested case for a humanitarian overhaul of representation. Concentrating on coverage by Pakistani newspapers of the multiple issues facing Afghan refugees, this original and important study will reward both specialist researchers and conscientious media professionals alike with its rich array of insights and arguments."" Associate Professor Jake Lynch, University of Sydney, Australia ""This book comes amid growing concern among western scholars about the near-absence of non-western approaches in media and communication studies. The author has done exceptionally well in contextualising the important academic debates in this book, including peace journalism, the portrayal of refugees, and socio-political influences on journalism. These scholarly approaches are masterfully synthesised to make a powerful call for peace-oriented media to humanize Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. This book is a must for scholars interested in the theory and practice of peace journalism in Pakistan and beyond."" Professor Shabir Hussain, Bahria University, Pakistan"
