Routledge - The Pluriverse of Human Rights Book

Explore a deep investigation into the current state of human rights through the lens of the Epistemologies of the South. This Routledge publication examines the impasse facing human rights as a primary language for expressing struggles for dignity. It addresses the political and epistemological exhaustion often seen in the global North and asks if human rights can function in a counter-hegemonic way. By drawing inspiration from diverse struggles across the world, this book examines both the potential and the specific limitations of the human rights framework. It provides a conditional response to whether these established languages can serve those fighting for dignity in different global contexts. This text is a necessary resource for those studying how global hegemony interacts with local struggles for justice.
