Covering a diverse range of topics, case studies and theories, the
author undertakes a critique of the principal assumptions on which
the existing international human rights regime has been
constructed. She argues that the decolonization of human rights,
and the creation of a global community that is conducive to the
well-being of all humans, will require a radical restructuring of
our ways of thinking, researching and writing. In contributing to
this restructuring she brings together feminist and indigenous
approaches as well as postmodern and post-colonial scholarship,
engaging directly with some of the prevailing orthodoxies, such as
'universality', 'the individual', 'self-determination', 'cultural
relativism', 'globalization' and 'civil society'.
