But rights do not exist as a mere framework; they are enacted, practiced, and debated in local contexts. \u003ci\u003eRights After Wrongs\u003c\/i\u003e ethnographically explores the chasm between the ideals and the practice of human rights. Specifically, it shows where the sweeping colonial logics of Western law meets the lived experiences, accumulated histories, and humanitarian debts present in post-colonial Zimbabwe. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough a comprehensive survey of human rights scholarship, Shannon Morreira explores the ways in which the global framework of human rights is locally interpreted, constituted, and contested in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Musina and Cape Town, South Africa. Presenting the stories of those who lived through the violent struggles of the past decades, Morreira shows how supposedly universal ideals become localized in the context of post-colonial Southern Africa. \u003ci\u003eRights After Wrongs\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the disconnect between the ways human rights appear on paper and the ways in which it is possible for people to use and understand them in everyday life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shannon Morreira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804799083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804799089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2016","brand":"Shannon Morreira","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059765932287,"sku":"9780804799089","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5411c61f-71e8-4828-880b-2f8383d2c095.jpg?v=1685060205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rights-after-wrongs-shannon-morreira-9780804799089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
