Synopsis

The concept of human rights is often deployed by states in defense of various policies, as well by those resisting the impact of those same policies. Using case studies from contemporary Mexico and Colombia, Pérez-Bustillo and Hernández Mares explore the evolving relationship between these hegemonic and counter-hegemonic visions of human rights.
