Do people everywhere have the same, or even compatible, ideas about multiculturalism, indigenous rights or women's rights? The authors of this book move beyond the traditional terms of the universalism versus cultural relativism debate. Through detailed case-studies from around the world (Hawa'i, France, Thailand, Botswana, Greece, Nepal and Canada) they explore the concrete effects of rights talk and rights institutions on people's lives.Cowan, Jane K. is the author of 'Culture and Rights Anthropological Perspectives', published 2001 under ISBN 9780521797351 and ISBN 0521797357.
