This interdisciplinary book explores human rights in the Americas
from multiple perspectives and fields. Taking 1492 as a point of
departure, the text explores Eurocentric historiographies of human
rights and offer a more complete understanding of the genealogy of
the human rights discourse and its many manifestations in the
Americas. The essays use a variety of approaches to reveal the
larger contexts from which they emerge, providing a cross-sectional
view of subjects, countries, methodologies and foci explicitly
dedicated toward understanding historical factors and circumstances
that have shaped human rights nationally and internationally within
the Americas. The chapters explore diverse cultural, philosophical,
political and literary expressions where human rights discourses
circulate across the continent taking into consideration issues
such as race, class, gender, genealogy and nationality. While
acknowledging the ongoing centrality of the nation, the volume
promotes a shift in the study of the Americas as a dynamic
transnational space of conflict, domination, resistance,
negotiation, complicity, accommodation, dialogue, and solidarity
where individuals, nations, peoples, institutions, and intellectual
and political movements share struggles, experiences, and
imaginaries. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of
InterAmerican studies and those from all disciplines interested in
Human Rights.
