The Rights War in Literature and Culture

From Literary Humanitarianism to Savior Victimism

Beschreibung

It analyzes the cultural narratives through which imperialism, white supremacy, and misogyny appropriate rights discourse to pose at once as savior and victim. While literary humanitarianism promotes rights as a contest of victimhood and disconnects international spaces, it explores literary strategies for reimagining social justice.
