Using Israel\/Palestine as its main case study, \u003cem\u003eThe Human Right to Dominate\u003c\/em\u003e describes the establishment of settler NGOs that appropriate human rights to dispossess indigenous Palestinians and military think-tanks that rationalize lethal violence by invoking human rights. The book underscores the increasing convergences between human rights NGOs, security agencies, settler organizations, and extreme right nationalists, showing how political actors of different stripes champion the dissemination of human rights and mirror each other's political strategies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIndeed, Perugini and Gordon demonstrate the multifaceted role that this discourse is currently playing in the international arena: on the one hand, human rights have become the lingua franca of global moral speak, while on the other, they have become reconstrued as a tool for enhancing domination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Perugini, Neve Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199365008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199365005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015","brand":"Nicola Perugini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990107291903,"sku":"9780199365005","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d76f918-a287-4f50-a626-741fee971bd2.jpg?v=1683303034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-human-right-to-dominate-nicola-perugini-9780199365005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
