The second half of the twentieth century, justly celebrated as an age of human rights, has been marked both by explosive articulations of human rights standards and norms and by explosive articulations of human rights standards and norms and by their sustained critique. This work explores the achievements and shortfalls of human rights and their future in an era of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile celebrating the rhetoric of the universality of human rights, Upendra Baxi alerts us to the promises, as well as the perils, of statist and emancipatory discourses. Human rights proclamations and movements owe their emergence to increased sensitivity to the politics of cruelty beginning with the Holocaust and Hiroshima-Nagasaki. The New social movements-such as women's struggle to feminize human rights practices, postmodernist critiques of universalistic idiom of human rights, and movements in the politics of identity-present inaugural ways of relating human suffering to human rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt traces the community of concerns that now reshape the activist energy and power of human rights movements everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Future of Human Rights is essential reading for all concerned with human rights and human futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Age of Human Rights?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo Notions of Human Rights:\u003cbr\u003eModern and Contemporary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Practices of Contemporary Human Rights?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToo Many or Too Few Human Rights?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolitics of Identity and Difference\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is Living an\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Upendra Baxi \/ Oxford University Press \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153664504176,"sku":"12392","price":37.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/12392.jpg?v=1793912278","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-future-of-human-rights","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
