Providing a unique window into the underlying political and intellectual currents that have shaped human rights in the postwar period, this ambitious work opens up new opportunities for research, analysis, and political action. At the book's core, the author describes a \"well-tempered human rights\"--an orientation to human rights in the twenty-first century that is shaped by a sense of humility, an appreciation for the disorienting fact of multiplicity, and a willingness to make the mundaneness of social practice a source of ethical inspiration. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn examining the curious history of anthropology's engagement with human rights, this book moves from more traditional anthropological topics within the broader human rights community--for example, relativism and the problem of culture--to consider a wider range of theoretical and empirical topics. Among others, it examines the link between anthropology and the emergence of \"neoliberal\" human rights, explores the claim that anthropology has played an important role in legitimizing these rights, and gauges whether or not this is evidence of anthropology's potential to transform human rights theory and practice more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Goodale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804762120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804762120\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\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/07\/2009 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010","brand":"Mark Goodale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065148584191,"sku":"9780804762120","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5feee321-9f8e-48a3-8537-134baf5db1e4.jpg?v=1768673315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surrendering-to-utopia-mark-goodale-9780804762120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
