Summary
Goodale (conflict analysis and anthropology, George Mason U. ) explores anthropology's recent engagement with human rights and attempts to delineate an anthropological orientation to human rights in a series of five interconnected critical essays. His anthropological orientation points towards a… synthetic approach, is cognizant of the intellectual history of different human rights genealogies, theorizes and legitimates human rights in terms of the groundedness of social practices, and is rooted in an emergent cosmopolitanism.
