Counting the Dead by Winifred Tate

Drawing from the life stories of high-profile activists, interviews with military officials, and research at the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva, this work underscores the importance of analyzing and understanding human rights discourses, methodologies, and institutions within the context of broader cultural and political debates.

"Contributes significantly to our understanding of how activist institutional culture and identity evolves in a context where traditional labor and religious activists increasingly engage with and become more deeply enmeshed in the larger global activist community" -- Stephen Ropp Hispanic American Historical Review (Hahr) "A fascinating study of how and why the idea of human rights has gained such currency in Colombian society." -- William Aviles Latin American Perspectives: A Journal On Capitalism & Socialism
