Rise and Fall of Human Rights - Cynicism and Politics in Occupied Palestine

Zusatztext "Lori Allen offers a powerful and unsparing analysis of the fragmented human rights world in the West Bank and Gaza, arguing that human rights work can only promote social justice when it is situated within, and informed by, a broader political vision and national project—something that still eludes Palestinians. Her critique contains within it a vision of the future where social change is indeed possible and where Palestinians and the state that has yet to represent them find common cause."
