The contributions to this volume eschew the long-held approach of
either dismissing human rights as politically compromised or
glorifying them as a priori progressive in enabling resistance.
Drawing on plural social theoretic and philosophical literatures -
and a multiplicity of empirical domains - they illuminate the
multi-layered and intricate relationship of human rights and power.
They highlight human rights' incitement of new subjects and modes
of political action, marked by an often unnoticed duality and
indeterminacy. Epistemologically distancing themselves from purely
deductive, theory-driven approaches, the contributors explore these
linkages through historically specific rights struggles. This, in
turn, substantiates the commitment to avoid reifying the 'Third
World' as merely the terrain of 'fieldwork', proposing it, instead,
as a legitimate and necessary site of theorising. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
