Human rights violations are perpetrated in all parts of the world,
and the universal reaction to such atrocities is overwhelmingly one
of horror and sadness. Yet, as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im and his
contributors attest, our viewpoint is clouded and biased by the
expectations native to our own culture. How do other cultures view
human rights issues? Can an analysis of these issues through
multiple viewpoints, both cross-cultural and indigenous, help us
reinterpret and reconstruct prevailing theories of human rights?
