Full Description
As the second decade of the twenty-first century closes, challenges to human rights have deepened. Democracy is under stress, cultural battles within states have become heightened, and strongman politics are on the rise. Contemporary and historical reflections on rights are perhaps more pressing than ever.
This work addresses ongoing rights issues as well as offers aesthetic and historical reflections on human rights scenes. It addresses rights as a matter of cultural thoughtways, political philosophy, and social norms. The work employs academic, journalistic, and commentary-based styles and is intended to engage both academic and non-academic audiences.
