\"\"This summer, Rebecca Root<\/a> (Political Science) and Sonia Cardenas published Human Rights In Latin America: A Politics of Transformation<\/em><\/a> (Second Edition) with the University of Pennsylvania Press. Rebecca is using the book in her course this fall, also titled Human Rights in Latin America.<\/p>\n

From the publisher: For decades, Latin America has been plagued by civil wars, dictatorships, torture, legacies of colonialism, racism, and inequality. The region has also experienced dramatic\u2014if uneven\u2014human rights improvements, shedding light on the politics of transformation. The accounts of how Latin America\u2019s people have dealt with the persistent threats to their fundamental rights offer lessons for people around the world.<\/p>\n

Human Rights in Latin America<\/em> provides a comprehensive introduction to the human rights issues facing an area that constitutes more than half of the Western Hemisphere. This second edition brings together regional case studies and thematic chapters to explore cutting-edge issues and developments in the field. From historical accounts of abuse to successful transnational campaigns and legal battles, Human Rights in Latin America<\/em> explores the dynamics underlying a vast range of human rights initiatives. In addition to surveying the roles of the United States, relatives of the disappeared, and truth commissions, Sonia Cardenas and Rebecca Root cover newer ground in addressing the colonial and ideological underpinnings of human rights abuses, emerging campaigns for gender and sexuality rights, and regional dynamics relating to the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

Engagingly written and fully illustrated, Human Rights in Latin America<\/em> fills an important niche among human rights and Latin American textbooks. Ample supplementary resources\u2014including discussion questions, interdisciplinary reading lists, filmographies, online resources, internship opportunities, and instructor assignments\u2014make this an especially valuable text for use in human rights courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
