"The Rise and Fall of Human Rights" provides a groundbreaking
ethnographic investigation of the Palestinian human rights
world--its NGOs, activists, and "victims," as well as their
politics, training, and discourse--since 1979. Though human rights
activity began as a means of struggle against the Israeli
occupation, in failing to end the Israeli occupation, protect basic
human rights, or establish an accountable Palestinian government,
the human rights industry has become the object of cynicism for
many Palestinians. But far from indicating apathy, such cynicism
generates a productive critique of domestic politics and Western
interventionism. This book illuminates the successes and failures
of Palestinians' varied engagements with human rights in their
quest for independence.
