ACTIVISM IN THE SHADOWS OF UNIVERSALISM Elisions and Accents in the History of Human Rights
Meredith Terretta shows how historical inquiry contributes to an understanding of contemporary human rights as contingent. Using 20th century Africa as a case study, Terretta focuses on transregional activism to demonstrate that rights claims from colonial settings preceded a discursive structure of universal human rights emerging in 1948.
