Ishay, M: The Human Rights Reader Major Political Essays, Speeches and Documents From Ancient Times to the Present

"A wonderfully edited collection that deepens our understanding of why human rights should be deeply inscribed in our moral and political imagination."

-Richard A. Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice, Emeritus, Princeton University; Visiting Professor, Global Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara

"Following her masterly History of Human Rights: From Ancient Times to the Era of Globalization, Micheline Ishay now presents us with an extraordinarily rich, original, and illuminating compilation of sources on the history and philosophy of human rights. Insightful introductions to each part provide the appropriate historical context. A 'must' for courses on human rights."
