Reviews
'This book is not aimed at the layperson, something which is evident from titles such as Reframing Cultural Studies: Human Rights as a Site of Legal-cultural Struggles, and Immanent Law and the Juridical: Toward a Liberative Ontology of Human Rights. This content, instead, is aimed squarely at those interested in critical and academic research on these issues; however, as a non-academic reader with a legal background and a well developed interest in the interaction between law and society, I still found all of the papers engaging and thought provoking. The authors have written papers that are successful in promoting the value of looking at human rights and cultural studies interactively, rather than from a purely legal or purely cultural point of view...the content would be a valuable addition to any academic collection on human rights and/or cultural studies.'
