Editorial Reviews
Review
"In addition to being well researched and organized, the text uses an especially effective system for presenting each topic area. An overview introduces the reader to the relevant issues and highlights the types of questions and concerns to be kept in mind. A series of narrative analyses follows, raising the major problems to be discussed. It must be considered the most thought-provoking, comprehensive, and contemporary of the teaching materials now available."—American Journal of International Law
"A broad and thoughtful introduction to the field of human rights. . . . The editors have forged a well-structured tool for enhancing human rights education."—Harvard Human Rights Journal
"Nicely supplements other available material without duplicating it, and the editors raise many of the most important questions that ought to be discussed in such courses."—Human Rights Quarterly
"A challenging and valuable contribution for all readers interested in expanding their knowledge of the current, and even future, issues in human rights."—International Law and Comparative Law Quarterly
"Excellent articles and introductory commentary on the theory and practice of human rights and the remedies of wrongs."—David Carliner, Journal of Human Rights

Very Insightful Reading,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Human Rights in the World Community: Issues and Action (Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights) (Paperback)
This book of essays is a very good eye opener to anyone who is just recently delving into the world of Human Rights or for anyone who needs more information on this broad and sensitive topic. It goes as far as looking at the legal side that is involved in Human Rights and names many examples of cases that we all may be familiar with while also opening up with new cases that are still in progress. I am using it for my college Intro to Human Rights class and it provides for amazing discussion and the questions at the end of the each essay get the mind going and get you thinking more in depth about the topics that had been covered in each essay. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. From students in Human Rights, to instructors, all the way to someone who just wants to learn a little more about the world they live in.
5.0 out of 5 stars
