Birgit Schippers is Senior Lecturer in Politics at St Mary’s University College Belfast.
This outstanding collection of critical essays about human rights,
beautifully curated by Birgit Schippers, is a must-read both within
the field and across the disciplines. Among other things, the
essays are animated by an interest in forms of activism and
contestation that transcend minimalism and moralism in the face of
the rising crises of our time.
*Samuel Moyn, Author of Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal
World*
There is a rich critical literature interrogating the rights of
human rights. What distinguishes this collection is the additional
attention directed at the figure of the human, and the willingness
to trouble this. This makes for an often exhilarating read.
*Anne Phillips, London School of Economics, author of The Politics
of the Human*
