Interdisciplinary Approaches to Human Rights: History, Politics,
Practice is an edited collection that brings together analyses of
human rights work from multiple disciplines. Within the academic
sphere, this book will garner interest from scholars who are
invested in human rights as a field of study, as well as those who
research, and are engaged in, the praxis of human rights. Referring
to the historical and cross-cultural study of human rights, the
volume engages with disciplinary debates in political philosophy,
gender and women's studies, Global South/Third World studies,
international relations, psychology, and anthropology. At the same
time, the authors employ diverse methodologies including oral
history, theoretical and discourse analysis, ethnography, and
literary and cinema studies. Within the field of human rights
studies, this book attends to the critical academic gap on
interdisciplinary and praxis-based approaches to the field, as
opposed to a predominantly legalistic focus, drawing from case
studies from a wide range of contexts in the Global South,
including Bangladesh, Colombia, Haiti, India, Mexico, Palestine,
and Sudan, as well as from Australia and the United States in the
Global North. For students who will go on to become researchers,
practitioners, policy makers, and activists, this collection of
essays will demonstrate the multifaceted landscape of human rights
and the multiple forces (philosophical, political, cultural,
economic, historical) that affect it.
