They examine contestation and contingency in today's human rights politics and help us rethink some of the basic concepts of human rights." "In exploring a crucial and timely topic, this additional volume in the Amherst Series in Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought will enlighten the reader to the social and intellectual currents surrounding human rights."--Jacket.
