Critical Human Rights
Scott Straus and Tyrell Haberkorn, Series Editors; Steve J. Stern, Editor Emeritus
Interdisciplinary in nature, Critical Human Rights publishes empirically grounded and theoretically innovative work. The series emphasizes research that opens new ways to conceptualize and examine human rights. Books in the Critical Human Rights series transcend simplified accounts of perpetrators and victims, resist triumphalist narratives, emphasize the importance of local perception, incorporate socioeconomic rights, and anticipate human rights problems of the future.

Practical Audacity
Black Women and International Human Rights
Stanlie James
“An important, landmark work. James brings Black women's international engagement, scholarship, and activism to the center from the margins to shine a bright light on their impact. She inspires and empowers each of us to take up the mantle and continue their legacy to create a more equitable and just global society.”

South-South Solidarity and the Latin American Left
Jessica Stites Mor
“This volume so convincingly demonstrates South-South interactions are as important if not more so than interactions from the north to the south. Both scholars and a broader public with interests in solidarity and political mobilizations will warmly welcome Stites Mor's insightful contributions to our understandings of solidarity.”

After Genocide
Memory and Reconciliation in Rwanda
Nicole Fox
“Powerful. Fox's findings—including that the more mundane, everyday interactions are a more meaningful component of reconciliation—make beautiful and important contributions to the literature on peacebuilding and transitional justice, and have critical implications for international actors and policymakers.”
—Marie E. Berry, author of War, Women, and Power: From Violence to Mobilization in Rwanda and Bosnia-Herzegovina
