This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars
from the United States, the Middle East, and North Africa, to
discuss and critically analyze the intersection of gender and human
rights laws as applied to individuals of Arab descent. It seeks to
raise consciousness at the intersection of gender, identity, and
human rights as it relates to Arabs at home and throughout the
diaspora. The context of revolution and the destabilizing impact of
armed conflicts in the region are used to critique and examine the
utility of human rights law to address contemporary human rights
issues through extralegal strategies. To this end, the volume seeks
to inform, educate, persuade, and facilitate newer or less-heard
perspectives related to gender and masculinities theories. It
provides readers with new ways of understanding gender and human
rights and proposes forward-looking solutions to implementing human
rights norms. The goal of this book is to use the context of Arabs
at home and throughout the diaspora to critique and examine the
utility of human rights norms and laws to diminish human suffering
with the goal of transforming the structural, social, and cultural
conditions that impede access to human rights. This book will be of
interest to a diverse audience of scholars, students, public policy
researchers, lawyers and the educated public interested in the
fields of human rights law, international studies, gender politics,
migration and diaspora, and Middle East and North African politics.
