Sinossi
This is an innovative collection that brings together two issues that are not always related: measures to reduce poverty, and respect in practice for human rights. Most of the contributors are from Latin America--a region characterized by terrible human rights violations, and the co-existence of relative wealth alongside immense absolute inequality. Law, they argue, is no panacea for the intractable problem of poverty. Instead it can be an indispensable basis for social mobilization, which, in turn can be strengthened by socially engaged and critical social science. Paying particular attention to indigenous peoples, the contributors explore their struggles against poverty, and the relatively new notion of the right to development.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 209 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is gently age-toned, clean, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. No foxing, no age spotting. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores the innovative intersection of legal human rights frameworks and practical measures to reduce global poverty. Human Rights as a Tool: The authors argue that while law is not a "panacea" for poverty, it provides an indispensable basis for social mobilisation and political action. Focus on Latin America: Many contributors are Latin American, bringing a specific focus to the continent's history of extreme wealth inequality and indigenous struggles. Indigenous Rights: A significant portion of the text is dedicated to how indigenous peoples use human rights norms in their specific struggles against marginalisation and poverty. The Right to Development: The book examines the then-emerging legal notion of the "right to development" and its implications for social justice. The volume remains a foundational text in the "rights-based approach" to development, moving the conversation from charity to legal entitlements. Codice articolo 012212
