The Routledge History of Human Rights de Jean Quataert

The Routledge History of Human Rights: Routledge Histories

Editat de Jean Quataert, Lora Wildenthal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2021
The Routledge History of Human Rights is an interdisciplinary collection that provides historical and global perspectives on a range of human rights themes of the past 150 years.


The volume is made up of 34 original contributions. It opens with the emergence of a "new internationalism" in the mid-nineteenth century, examines the interwar, League of Nations, and the United Nations eras of human rights and decolonization, and ends with the serious challenges for rights norms, laws, institutions, and multilateral cooperation in the national security world after 9/11. These essays provide a big picture of the strategic, political, and changing nature of human rights work in the past and into the present day, and reveal the contingent nature of historical developments. Highlighting local, national, and non-Western voices and struggles, the volume contributes to overcoming Eurocentric biases that burden human rights histories and studies of international law. It analyzes regions and organizations that are often overlooked. The volume thus offers readers a new and broader perspective on the subject.


International in coverage and containing cutting-edge interpretations, the volume provides an overview of major themes and suggestions for future research. This is the perfect book for those interested in social justice, grass roots activism, and international politics and society.

Recenzii

'Through deft case studies from the nineteenth century to the present day that span the globe, this remarkable collection draws together leading scholars in the field to offer a primer in human rights history as it ought to be written: attentive to power, contestation and contingency, the legacies of empire, the growing reach of the human rights imagination and the diverse often non-Western actors that made it so. It is a marvelous achievement.'
Mark Philip Bradley, University of Chicago, USA
'This is a very stimulating collection of essays that succeeds in capturing the diverse and colorful histories of human rights in all of their ups and downs. The contributors eschew progress narratives and temptations to identify single foundational years or decades, but shed immense new light on key episodes. It is clearly an indispensable reference work.'
Philip Alston, New York University School of Law, USA
