Item description from seller

Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. From the publisher's blurb, "This collection has been published to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM), together with the valedictory lecture of one if its pioneers, Fried van Hoof. In 30 years, the role of regional human rights instruments and institutions has changed - their impact increased and, thus, more debate on their roles. Since these instruments and institutions are never a goal as such, but tools to increase social justice, the question has been raised: what is, or should be their contribution to social justice? The speakers at a conference on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of SIM, along with some of Fried van Hoof's former Ph.D. candidates, shed light on various aspects of this question." Contributions by the three editors Ida Lintel, Antoine Buyse and Brianne McGonigle Leyh, and by Egbert Myjer, Frans Viljoen, Tan Hsien-Li, Mervat Rishmawi, Irene I. Hadiprayitno, Ester van den Berg Mitzu Inazumi and others. xi [1], 2-171 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Store description

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana.
