Recenzii
'As an activist I find Ackerly's theorizing of human rights in action so insightful. She gives a name to our approach - curb-cut feminism: by being humble and attentive to those made invisible or 'different' by the mainstream we are better able to realize universal human rights. This book is a very useful map for anyone committed to justice in an often messy terrain.' Joanna Kerr, former Executive Director of AWID, the Association for Women's Rights in Development
'A stunning achievement. Ackerly takes up the daunting - some would say insuperable - challenge of developing a universal theory of human rights that does not entail cultural imperialism. With the concerns of activists and politics of difference as her starting points, she thinks outside of the box that has limited our understanding of, and ability to realize, universal human rights. This extremely thoughtful and closely argued text will stimulate debate and, I hope, revitalize activism.' V. Spike Peterson, Department of Political Science, University of Arizona
'[Universal] Human Rights in a World of Difference is a highly valuable, provocative work that contributes a new way of thinking and talking about universal human rights. … This work should be widely read and discussed by scholars in the fields of human rights and feminist international relations.'
