Human Rights: An Anthropological Reader is a groundbreaking collection that brings together key works that demonstrate the important and unique contributions that anthropologists have made to the understanding and practice of human rights over the last 60 years.
For decades, anthropologists have drawn on a range of intellectual and methodological approaches in order to reveal both the ambiguities and tremendous potential of the postwar human rights project. This volume synthesizes these different approaches and demonstrates how anthropologists have engaged with human rights as committed activists, empirical researchers, and cultural critics. By examining and drawing out the broader implications of this continuing legacy for the twenty-first century, this text serves as an essential resource for researchers, practitioners, and students of human rights.
Mark Goodale is Assistant Professor of Conflict Analysis and Anthropology at George Mason University. He is the Series Editor of Stanford Studies in Human Rights and the author of The Anthropology of Human Rights: Critical Explorations in Ethical Theory and Social Practice (2008), and Dilemmas of Modernity: Bolivian Encounters with Law and Liberalism (2008). He is the coeditor of The Practice of Human Rights: Tracking Law Between the Global and the Local (2007) and Practicing Ethnography in Law: New Dialogues, Enduring Methods (2002).
