Professor David Leonard (Washington State, Pullman) comments on the recent Kony 2012 video that went viral. He calls attention to the the power and appeal of "clicktivism" and how Kony 2012 plays upon longstanding narratives of white saviors while evil destroying the world. He argues that awareness is not necessarily transformative in itself; and asks where that awareness would lead us individually or collectively.
