In the follow-up to his widely read ""The Struggle for Human Rights
in Latin America"", author Edward Cleary examines some of the
robust human rights movements of the past two decades in
""Mobilizing Human Rights in Latin America"". Advocates of the
rights of women, indigenous groups, the landless, and street
children have achieved notable gains, so much so that in 1999 ""The
New York Times"" claimed that women have achieved more rights in
Latin America than any other region. Cleary establishes a record of
why, how, where, and when human rights reached this level.It is
often assumed that the concept of human rights is something that
must be imported by western liberal democracies to developing
countries. Cleary shows that human rights has a long history in
Latin America distinctive from other traditions and that this
tradition has expressed itself profoundly after the military
period. He argues that the region's unique history is not only
creating solutions to issues like corruption and minority rights,
but can also offer a valuable balance to the larger international
discourse on human rights.
