Culture and rights. Antropological perspectives

Do people everywhere have the same, or even compatible, ideas about multiculturalism, indigenous rights or women´ s rights? The authors of this book move beyond the traditional terms of the universalism versus cultural relativism debate. Through detailed case studies from around the word (Hawai´i, France, Tahiland, Bostwana, Greece, Nepal and Canada) they explore the concrete effects of rights talk and rights institutions on people´ s lives.
