Description
Human Rights and Cultural Diversity: Core Issues and Cases By Andrew Fagan This textbook explores the complex relationship between universal human rights and cultural diversity. Through an interdisciplinary analysis of key case studies, it offers an alternative philosophical framework for reconciling these two concepts into a single global vision. The book examines issues such as female genital mutilation, LGBT rights, freedom of speech, and the rights of indigenous peoples, among others. It provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by cultural diversity in the context of human rights. Suitable for students and scholars interested in philosophy, politics, history, and social science, this book features core questions, suggestions for further reading, and a clear two-colour layout.
