Memorialised as a US heroine and an iconoclastic humanitarian who
sought to protect society's marginalised, Eleanor Roosevelt also,
at times, disappointed contemporaries and biographers with some of
her stances. Examining a period of her life that has not been
extensively explored, this book challenges the previously held
universality of Eleanor Roosevelt's humanitarianism. The
Palestinian question is used as a case study to explore the
practical application of her commitment to social justice, and the
author argues that, at times, Roosevelt's humanitarianism was
illogical, limited and flawed by pragmatism. New insights are
provided into Eleanor Roosevelt's human rights activism - its
dichotomies, its inspiration, and the effect it had on US relations
with the Middle East. This book will appeal to academics working
across a range of disciplines including history, diplomatic
history, American studies, Middle Eastern studies, US foreign
policy, human rights and women's studies.
