| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today's id ealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly res haped our hopes for an improved humanity. Here, historian Samuel Moyn e levates that transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals ab out the ideal's troubled present and uncertain future. It was on the ru ins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achiev ed contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substitut ed for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and natio nalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle a nd bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.--From publisher description. |
