- Title
Uganda Is Too Sexy: Reflections on "Kony 2012."
- Authors
Edmondson, Laura
- Abstract
The author discusses the depiction of Uganda in various forms of media including the film "The Last King of Scotland," the Broadway play "The Book of Mormon," and "Kony 2012," an advocacy video made by charity organization Invisible Children, Inc., in order to emphasize Uganda's international visibility. She argues that disproportionate attention focused on aiding Uganda draws attention away from more urgent situations in the Congo, South Sudan, and Central African Republic (CAR).
