"This book lays out the history of entertainment-education and discusses the boundaries of what counts as entertainment-education and narrative persuasion, includes both authors who work within academia and authors who are practitioners, and chapters focusing on developed and developing countries; draws upon communication principles and theory but prioritizes actionable lessons for how entertainment-education actually works."
