Rhetoric In Human Rights Advocacy A Study Of Exemplars Richard K Ghere by Richard K. Ghere, Youssef Farhat 9780739193938, 0739193937 instant download after payment.

This book examines the rhetoric of various “exemplars” who advocate for causes and actions pertaining to human rights in particular contexts. Although some of these exemplars champion human rights, others are human rights antagonists. Simply put, the argument here is that concern for how particular individualsadvocatefor human rights causes—as well as howantagonistsobstruct such initiatives—adds significant value to understanding the successes and failures of human rights efforts in particular cultural and national contexts.

On one hand, we can grasp how specific international organizations and actors function todevelopnorms (for example, the rights of the child) and how rights are subsequently articulated in universal declarations and formal codes. But on the other, it becomes apparent that theactualmeaningof those rights mutate when “accepted” within particular cultures. A complementary facet of this argument relates to the centrality ofrhetoricin observing how rights advocates function in practice; specifically, rhetoric focuses upon theart of argumentationand the various strategies and techniques enlisted therein. In that much of the “reality” surrounding human rights (from the standpoints of advocates and antagonists alike) is fundamentallyinterpretive, rhetorical (or argumentative) skill is of vital importance for advocates as competent pragma-dialecticians in presenting the case that a rights ideal can enhance life in a culture predisposed to reject that ideal.
This book includes case studies focusing on the rhetoric of the following individuals or groups as either human rights advocates or antagonists: Mary B. Anderson, Rwandan “hate radio” broadcasters, politicians and military officials connected with the Kent State University and Tiananmen Square student protest tragedies, Iqbal Masih, Pussy Riot, Lyndon Johnson, Julian Assange, Geert Wilders, Daniel Barenboim, Joe Arpaio, and Lucius Banda.
