Victims' Stories And The Advancement Of Human Rights

What does it mean to be a victim? How can we better listen to and learn from the experiences of those whose human rights have been violated? This book addresses questions suggested by the worldwide persistence of human rights abuse and the prevalence of appeals to victims' stories in human rights campaigns, truth commissions, and international criminal tribunals. Meyers takes an interdisciplinary approach to considering how victims' stories can contribute to enlarged understandings of human rights protections and deepened commitments to realizing human rights.
