Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The legal texts and aspirational ideals of human rights are usually understood and applied in a global context with little bearing on legal discourse, domestic political struggles, or social justice within the United States. In Writing Human Rights, Crystal Parikh uses the international human rights regime to read works by contemporary American writers of color-Toni Morrison, Chang-rae Lee, Ana Castillo, Aimee Phan, and others-exploring the conditions under which new norms, more capacious formulations of rights, and alternative political communities emerge.
