- Synopsis
- This sophisticated book argues that humanrights literature both helps the persecuted to cope with their trauma and servesas the foundation for a cosmopolitan ethos of universal civility--a culturewithout borders. Michael Galchinsky maintainsthat, no matter how many treaties there are, a rights-respecting world will nottruly exist until people everywhere can imagine it. TheModes of Human Rights Literature describes four major forms ofhuman rights literature: protest, testimony, lament, and laughter to reveal howsuch works give common symbolic forms to widely held sociopolitical emotions.
