Opis

The analysis of human rights to date has lacked a truly deep and complex awareness of the historical context in which they developed. Examining the humanness of rights, this book redresses the balance by demonstrating how the characterization of this humanity from a Euro-American perspective shapes the content and implementation of international human rights law.

Recenzje

"Wright's book is extremely comprehensive; its greatest strength is the wide range and depth of the literature from which she draws." Patrick Hayden, Victoria University of Wellington, Human Rights and Human Welfare
