What is left to the survivors, the witnesses, those who tried to help? What can we do to prevent more atrocities from happening in the future, and to stop the ones that are happening right now? \u003ci\u003eThat the World May Know\u003c\/i\u003e tells the powerful and moving story of the successes and failures of the modern human rights movement. Drawing on firsthand accounts from fieldworkers around the world, the book gives a painfully clear picture of the human cost of confronting inhumanity in our day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is no dearth of such stories to tell, and James Dawes begins with those that emerged from the Rwandan genocide. Who, he asks, has the right to speak for the survivors and the dead, and how far does that right go? How are these stories used, and what does this tell us about our collective moral future? His inquiry takes us to a range of crises met by a broad array of human rights and humanitarian organizations. Here we see from inside the terrible stresses of human rights work, along with its curious seductions, and the myriad paradoxes and quandaries it presents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith pathos, compassion, and a rare literary grace, this book interweaves personal stories, intellectual and political questions, art and aesthetics, and actual \"news\" to give us a compelling picture of humanity at its conflicted best, face-to-face with humanity at its worst.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Dawes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674026233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674026230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Bronze Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Book Award - Finalist","brand":"James Dawes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054244065535,"sku":"9780674026230","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2314e705-fdbd-4a34-938c-58281f2c3c42.jpg?v=1685028845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/that-the-world-may-know-james-dawes-9780674026230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
