| Summary: | This book offers fresh perspectives on the literary perceptions of human rights as a discursive field, set of norms and political goal, while providing cutting-edge readings of specific literary works. Each chapter engages with current debates about human rights and literature, addressing complex questions about how human rights are portrayed in diverse contexts such as identity, ethnicity, nationality, sex, religion and language. By examining the interplay between literary discourse and the political, legal and cultural dimensions of human rights, the book expands the boundaries of this field. It appeals to both researchers and general readers by highlighting human rights as a universal concern. |
