"A timely, well-balanced, and important collection with contributions by many well-known and distinguished scholars. The essays consistently focus on how rights, gender, and culture interact, come into conflict, and discursively construct each other."-Mary H. Moran, Colgate University "Gender and Culture at the Limit of Rights asks readers to consider not only the potential but also the limits of human rights in a variety of historical and contemporary circumstances. This bold agenda is made even more challenging by the focus on gender, particularly on those many interventions that have depicted women as victims and vulnerable to male power. The book very successfully moves debates forward by exploring how rights-based interventions presume or transform gender relations."-Harri Englund, University of Cambridge.
