Description

Writing Wrongs: The Cultural Construction of Human Rights in India provides a deep examination of the cultural apparatus surrounding human rights in contemporary India. This scholarly work explores how discourses of victimhood, oppression, suffering, and witnessing are constructed and understood through various lenses. By studying a wide range of media and genres, including autobiographies, memoirs, reportage, media coverage, and documentaries, the text offers a detailed look at how different groups are represented. It focuses on the experiences of Dalits, riot victims, prisoners, and abused or abandoned women and children. The book examines the formal properties of victim texts to see how they document trauma and analyzes how the sympathetic imagination functions within these narratives. This publication marks the start of a new field in literary studies by connecting social science perspectives with media analysis. It is an essential resource for readers interested in sociology, anthropology, and the legal and social aspects of human rights in the Indian context.
