Böcker av Michael Galchinsky

This sophisticated book argues that human rights literature both helps the persecuted to cope with their trauma and serves as the foundation for a cosmopolitan ethos of universal civility-a culture without borders.

Analyzes the role of Jews in the formation of international human rights efforts throughout the US, Israel, and the Former Soviet Union. This work examines this human rights work as part of a total system of Jewish political commitments, a system shaped by both human rights history and Jewish history.
