The Routledge History of Human Rights is an interdisciplinary
collection that provides historical and global perspectives on a
range of human rights themes of the past 150 years. The volume is
made up of 34 original contributions. It opens with the emergence
of a "new internationalism" in the mid-nineteenth century, examines
the interwar, League of Nations, and the United Nations eras of
human rights and decolonization, and ends with the serious
challenges for rights norms, laws, institutions, and multilateral
cooperation in the national security world after 9/11. These essays
provide a big picture of the strategic, political, and changing
nature of human rights work in the past and into the present day,
and reveal the contingent nature of historical developments.
Highlighting local, national, and non-Western voices and struggles,
the volume contributes to overcoming Eurocentric biases that burden
human rights histories and studies of international law. It
analyzes regions and organizations that are often overlooked. The
volume thus offers readers a new and broader perspective on the
subject. International in coverage and containing cutting-edge
interpretations, the volume provides an overview of major themes
and suggestions for future research. This is the perfect book for
those interested in social justice, grass roots activism, and
international politics and society.
