The Human Rights Revolution by Akira Iriye
This volume explores the place of human rights in history, providing an alternative framework for understanding the political and legal dilemmas that these conflicts presented, with case studies focusing on the 1940s through the present.
One of the very best introductions to the history of human rights in the modern world for both undergraduate and graduate studentsThe essays, by a wide range of scholars, represent some of the best work in the field and nicely survey the range of what we think we know about human rights, a quite new field of historical study...The contributions are well edited and cohere as a volume in a manner that few collections of conference papers do. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
