Critics who link international human rights doctrine with forms of domination and national interests are increasingly questioning its moral foundations, political aspirations, and material importance. Some have proposed alternative rights frameworks centred on the recognition of cultural differences and an inclusive pluriversality to mediate what they see as a hegemonic construct of universal human rights. The Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice Series provides a forum for participants in these debates to apply diverse disciplinary, theoretical, historical, cultural, philosophical, and praxis-based perspectives. It responds to a growing desire to go beyond discourses in law and politics, to explore the narrative constructions of rights. Books in the series attend closely to restorative justice in a broad array of contexts, from domestic criminal justice to transitional justice and post-conflict peacebuilding.
This series is published in partnership with the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice, McMaster University.
