Summary:

"In this book, after providing some critique, the author proposes a critical pedagogy of human rights. The book defines human rights education and provides specific tools for using it. The author discusses how there is little consistency in the structure of the extant curricula in the US. This book addresses that problem with the intent to advance the field of human rights education by offering a framework for structuring curricula and teaching courses, thereby facilitating replication and growth as an academic discipline"-- Provided by publisher.
