Additional text

"A welcome relief. . . . Snyder shows it is possible to write a clearly written, broadly framed book about strategies to advance human rights. Human Rights for Pragmatists is both critical in taking on staid human rights strategies and incisive in arguing for more politically sophisticated approaches to advancing the human rights project."---Anthony Chase, International Studies Review
