Culture and Rights: Anthropological Perspectives

ISBN: 9780521797351 出版年：2001 页码：274 Cowan Dembour Wilson Cambridge University Press

Do people everywhere have the same, or even compatible, ideas about multiculturalism, indigenous rights or women's rights? The authors of this book move beyond the traditional terms of the universalism versus cultural relativism debate. Through detailed case-studies from around the world (Hawaii, France, Thailand, Botswana, Greece, Nepal and Canada) they explore the concrete effects of rights talk and rights institutions on people's lives.
