Rezensionen
"Blau and Moncada have written a great book unlike any other in the human rights field. It combines a devastating critique of neoliberalism with sociologically grounded scholarly advocacy of a people-centered future for human rights on a global scale. As such, it both persuades and inspires."
-Richard Falk, University of California-Santa Barbara

"Human Rights: A Primer provides a compelling and timely introduction to the subject of globalization's nefarious impact on human rights. Drawing on an encompassing and indivisible human rights framework, Blau and Moncada passionately appeal for solidarity at the local, national, and international levels."
-Micheline Ishay, author of The History of Human Rights From Ancient Times to the Globalization Era (2004, 2008)
