Book Synopsis The Human Right to Dominate by : Nicola Perugini
Book excerpt: At the turn of the new millennium, a new phenomenon has emerged: conservatives who just decades before had rejected the expanding human rights culture began to embrace human rights in order to advance their own political goals. In this book Nicola Perugini and Neve Gordon account for how human rights - generally conceived as a counterhegemonic instrument for righting historical injustices - are being deployed to subjugate the weak and legitimise domination.
