{"product_id":"mobilizing-for-human-rights-in-latin-america","title":"Mobilizing for Human Rights in Latin America","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the follow-up to his widely read \u003ci\u003eThe Struggle for Human Rights in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e, author Edward Cleary examines some of the robust human rights movements of the past two decades in \u003ci\u003eMobilizing for Human Rights in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e. Advocates of the rights of women, indigenous groups, the landless, and street children have achieved notable gains, so much so that in 1999 the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e claimed that women have achieved more rights in Latin America than in any other region. Cleary establishes a record of why, how, where, and when human rights reached this level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is often assumed that the concept of human rights is something that must be imported by Western liberal democracies to developing countries. Cleary shows that human rights has a long history in Latin America distinctive from other traditions and that this tradition has expressed itself profoundly since the military period. He argues that the region’s unique history is not only creating solutions to issues such as corruption and minority rights, but also can offer a valuable balance to the larger international discourse on human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kumarian Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781565492417\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kumarian Press","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £21.84","offer_id":47901423075505,"sku":"SB-1565492412-C2","price":21.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1565492412.jpg?v=1788843991","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/mobilizing-for-human-rights-in-latin-america","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
