Moral Imperialism: A Critical Anthology

Berta Esperanza Hernández-Truyol

4.9/5 (10202 ratings)

Description:In the controversy over female genital mutilation, Congress was quick to condemn practices throughout Africa & the Middle East & to take action criminalizing the practice domestically. Yet at the same time, it dismissed Amnesty Internat'l & Human Rights Watch when they pointed out human rights violations closer to home in the form of the disproportionately high rate of the imposition of capital punishment on black men & the disempowerment of poor women under new draconian welfare rules. The irony of the United States' international condemnation of types of activities in which it engages within its own borders is not lost on 3rd World critics. Moral Imperialism sets out to bring an internat'l human rights framework to the analysis of current internat'l & domestic legal, political & cultural crises. It explores the United States' moral supremacy during a time of clear domestic shortcomings & asks whether insisting that other nations adhere to norms that derive from dominant US culture & history may harm societies--both within & outside the USA--with different cultures & histories. Contributors include Beverly Greene, Kevin Johnson, M. Patricia Fernandez Kelly, Holly Maguigan, Boaventura De Sousa Santos, Saskia Sassen & Eric Yamamoto.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
