'Through Thin and Thick advances a progressive, decolonizing and emancipatory vision of human rights. Oquendo develops a post-doctrinal, dialogic account of how courts and other legal institutions facilitate principled conversation about the politics of human rights law between and among states and civil society. The book offers a compelling defense of human rights theory and practice as an institutionalized political conversation about the reach and rule of law.' Kendall Thomas, Nash Professor of Law, Columbia University
