"Has there always been an inalienable 'right to have rights' as part of the human
condition, as Hannah Arendt famously argued? The contributions to this volume examine
how human rights came to define the bounds of universal morality in the course of
the political crises and conflicts of the twentieth century. Although human rights
are often viewed as a self-evident outcome of this history, the essays collected here
make clear that human rights are a relatively recent invention that emerged in contingent
and contradictory ways. Focusing on specific instances of their assertion or violation
during the past century, this volume analyzes the place of human rights in various
arenas of global politics, providing an alternative framework for understanding the
political and legal dilemmas that these conflicts presented. In doing so, this volume
captures the state of the art in a field that historians have only recently begun
to explore"--Provided by publisher
