Reviews

A remarkable achievement! Informative, insightful and engaging. Seeing Justice is a compelling book that will engage and delight the reader. It exposes the way images about justice are created, contextualized and distributed, and how different social actors struggle for control of those processes. Bock's wry wit is a welcome bonus, too often missing in books of this character. -Shahira S. Fahmy, Professor, School of Journalism, University of Arizona, USA and Visiting Professor, School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, The American University in Cairo, Egypt
