Klappentext zu „Human Rights and the Uses of History “
Where did human rights come from? This question, rarely asked before the end of the Cold War, has in recent years become a major focus of historical and ideological strife. In a series of reflective and critical essays, Samuel Moyn engages with some of the leading interpreters of human rights, who have been creating a field from scratch without due reflection about the local and temporary contexts of their storytelling. Particularly addressed in the book is how America's leading role in the world after 1989 became the implicit topic of treatments of the humanitarianism of the British Empire. But Moyn argues that the ultimate stakes in this debate concern not how human rights originated but what they should become after their twenty years of prestige between the bipolar Cold War and the multipolar world to come.
