Just being able to discuss the contents of this book with others – not necessarily in the field – helped tremendously. I appreciate the support and promise to make up for slacking off in the future. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive on my desire to stay current in the field. I know you all notice but no one said anything. Many times I worked on this book – pushing my other responsibilities into another pile. Thanks also to my university, Virginia Commonwealth University, and my colleagues in the Dean’s Office. Mickey always has an encouraging smile and kind words to say when I see him. Vic provided excellent direction in the conceptualization of this project. A special thanks to Vic Kappeler and Mickey Braswell for supporting this endeavor. I appreciate each of you working with me on this project and also for participating in the double roundtable session at ACJS in New Orleans where we first presented the information contained in this reader. What started out as an idea on a long train ride has finally come to fruition.
I hope it has been a pleasant experience for each of you.

Ishay structures her chapters around six core questions that have shaped human rights debate and scholarship: What are the origins of human rights? Why did the European vision of human rights triumph over those of other civilizations? Has socialism made a lasting contribution to the legacy of human rights? Are human rights universal or culturally bound? Must human rights be sacrificed to the demands of national security? Is globalization eroding or advancing human rights? As she explores these questions, Ishay also incorporates notable documents-writings, speeches, and political statements-from activists, writers, and thinkers throughout history.Controversies in Victimology, Second Edition Copyright © 2003, 2008 Matthew Bender & Company, Inc., a member of the LexisNexis Group Newark, NJ ISBN: 978-1-59345-5682 Phone 87 Web Site All rights reserved.
The only comprehensive history of human rights available, the book will be essential reading for anyone concerned with humankind's quest for justice and dignity. Writing with verve and extraordinary range, she develops a framework for understanding contemporary issues from the debate over globalization to the intervention in Kosovo to the climate for human rights after September 11, 2001. As she chronicles the clash of social movements, ideas, and armies that have played a part in this struggle, Ishay illustrates how the history of human rights has evolved from one era to the next through texts, cultural traditions, and creative expression.
Micheline Ishay recounts the dramatic struggle for human rights across the ages in a book that brilliantly synthesizes historical and intellectual developments from the Mesopotamian Codes of Hammurabi to today's era of globalization.
