Human Rights and Memory Hardback
by Daniel (SUNY Stony Brook) Levy, Natan (Professor of Sociology, Academic College of Tel-Aviv-Yaffo) Sznaider
Part of the Essays on Human Rights series
Hardback
Description
Memories of historical events like the Holocaust have played a key role in the internationalization of human rights.
Their importance lies in their ability to bridge the universal and the particular-the universality of human values and the particularity of memories rooted in local human experiences.
In Human Rights and Memory, Levy and Sznaider trace the growth of human rights discourse since World War II and interpret its deployment of memories as a new form of cosmopolitanism, exemplifying a dynamic through which global concerns become part of local experiences, and vice versa.
