Recenzje

'An original and exciting approach for making understood the central place of cultural rights. Relying on TV shows, novels and other literary works, Porsdam, also a strong human rights analyst, convinces us that contemporary controversial issues can and should be addressed through the lens of cultural rights.' Mylène Bidault, Vice President of the Observatory of Diversity and Cultural Rights, Switzerland
