The Breakthrough by Jan Eckel
The Breakthrough is the first collection to examine key developments in both Western and non-Western engagement with human rights in the period between the 1960s and the 1980s.
"A fascinating collection of essays. . an eclectic set of readings bringing in perspectives from around the globe on human rights developments during the 1970s." * Human Rights Quarterly *
"Editors Moyn and Eckel present an impressive European-American research effort to understand the efflorescence of human rights organizations and activity over the past century. . . . the superb essays in this collection make a well-documented and well-argued case." * Stanley N. Katz, Choice *
"An outstanding volume that is poised to make a major intervention into the late twentieth-century history of global human rights politics. The Breakthrough brings together some of the most important new work on the history of human rights in the 1970s in ways that will reshape this emergent field. Eckel and Moyn have crafted a rare and welcome collection that will be especially useful for the undergraduate and graduate classroom." * Mark Philip Bradley, University of Chicago *
