Klappentext zu „After Evil: A Politics of Human Rights “
Mainstream human rights discourse speaks of such evils as the Holocaust, slavery, or apartheid in ways that put them solidly in the past. Its elaborate techniques of "transitional" justice encourage future generations to move forward, but the false assumption of closure enables those who are guilty to elude responsibility. This approach to history, common to late-twentieth-century humanitarianism, doesn't presuppose that evil ends only when justice begins. Rather, it assumes that a time before justice is the moment to put evil in the past.

Rezension zu „After Evil: A Politics of Human Rights “
The rare work of a genuine thinker, one who permits no phenomenon, discourse, event, or category of analysis to be assumed or left uninterrogated. After Evil also offers a supremely important and timely argument, one that cuts to the quick of bids for justice in the aftermath of extreme orders of domination, exploitation, and extermination. ¿ Wendy Brown, University of California, Berkeley
