Omschrijving
“A tour de force.”—Gordon S. Wood, New York Times Book Review
"Elegant... intriguing, if not audacious... Hunt is an astute historian."
"Fast-paced, provocative, and ultimately optimistic. Declarations, she writes, are not empty words but transformative; they make us want to become the people they claim we are."
"A provocative and engaging history of the political impact of human rights."
"This is a wonderful story of the emergence and development of the powerful idea of human rights, written by one of the leading historians of our time."
"Rich, elegant, and persuasive."
"As Americans begin to hold their leaders accountable for the mistakes made in the war against terror, this book ought to serve as a guide to thinking about one of the most serious mistakes of all, the belief that America can win that war by revoking the Declaration that brought the nation into being."
Lynn Hunt is Distinguished Research Professor at UCLA, former president of the American Historical Association, and author of numerous works, including Inventing Human Rights and Telling the Truth about History. She lives in Los Angeles.
