Rights

Publisher: Wiley

Abstract:

Philosophical and legal rights take many forms, articulating freedoms and entitlements within particular political contexts. This section explores the historic emergence of legal rights, the emergence of philosophical ideas of natural rights, and the establishment of universal human rights legislation and anthropological engagement with these ideas. Following strong cultural relativist objections to human rights, the post-Cold War embrace of rights as a domain of anthropological engagement is examined in relation to new research trajectories in the anthropology of rights.
