Recenzii
'This collection makes a compelling case for human rights as a new focus of anthropological research, evidence of a discipline in lively transition. Even more fundamentally, the range of projects and commitments expressed in the essays point to key locations - at once political, ethical, and experiential - in the new legal geography of globalism, as the contributors map the uneven horizons and pathways along which human rights are today asserted, defended, and contested.' Carol Greenhouse, Professor of Anthropology, Princeton University
'A compelling book. The anthropologists here are also interdisciplinarists. The reconfiguration of institutions, resistance movements and everyday expectations brought about by the very idea of human rights demands a reconfiguring of approaches from the social observer. The authors shrink from neither the questions nor the answers thrown up by human rights efforts in practice. By focusing on issues of violence, power, vulnerability and people's ambivalence, they offer insights that mould a new kind of realism.' Marilyn Strathern, William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge
''Human rights' has become one of the key ideas of contemporary world-making. This book places it in an open intellectual landscape, where well-informed scholars come together to engage in close scrutiny of its translation into political and legal practice, in a wide range of settings from the Chiapas of the Zapatistas to the Myanmar of the military junta. Their global reach and theoretical sophistication contribute impressively to the vitality of the idea itself, and to the growth of understanding of its uses.' Ulf Hannerz, Stockholm University
'In the present publication, the short introductions at the beginning of each section provide focus by summarizing how anthropologists have previously worked with the addressed themes. Simultaneously they also provide orientation for future research by demarking research gaps and pointing out theoretical inconsistencies.' Suomen Antropologi: Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society
