Integration: Its Context and ContentsAs China experiences tremendous economic and social transformation in the reform years, language use in China has also undergone remarkable changes in the past couple decades: the national obsession with learning the global English, which becomes both a resource for modernization and a source of contention; the expanding use of local languages and dialects in mass media, where standard Mandarin is promoted and legally prescribed as the principal language; the emergence of the Internet language that has become a creative source for constructing a distinct youth identity; the Cantonese writingLanguage and languagesChinaChinese languageGlobalizationChinaChinaLanguagesLanguage and languagesChinese language.Globalization410.51495.12Liu Jin767092Tao Hongyin1678998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911154639103321Chinese under globalization4870544UNINA05590nam 2200721 a 450 991114608960332120251117102038.0978081222331608122233149780812208719081220871410.9783/9780812208719(CKB)2670000000418904(OCoLC)861322649(CaPaEBR)ebrary10753065(SSID)ssj0001036614(PQKBManifestationID)11992665(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001036614(PQKBWorkID)11041811(PQKB)11784075(MdBmJHUP)muse27268(DE-B1597)449756(OCoLC)922638628(DE-B1597)9780812208719(Au-PeEL)EBL3442251(CaPaEBR)ebr10753065(CaONFJC)MIL682700(Perlego)732098(MiAaPQ)EBC3442251(EXLCZ)99267000000041890420130320d2014 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe breakthrough human rights in the1970s /edited by Jan Eckel and Samuel Moyn1st ed.Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Pressc20141 online resource (348 p.)Pennsylvania Studies in Human RightsPennsylvania studies in human rightsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9781322514185 1322514186 9780812245509 0812245504 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Chapter 1.

The Rebirth of Politics from the Spirit of Morality: Explaining the Human Rights Revolution of the 1970's --Notes --Contributors --Index --AcknowledgmentsBetween the 1960's and the 1980's, the human rights movement achieved unprecedented global prominence. Amnesty International attained striking visibility with its Campaign Against Torture; Soviet dissidents attracted a worldwide audience for their heroism in facing down a totalitarian state; the Helsinki Accords were signed, incorporating a "third basket" of human rights principles; and the Carter administration formally gave the United States a human rights policy. The Breakthrough is the first collection to examine this decisive era as a whole, tracing key developments in both Western and non-Western engagement with human rights and placing new emphasis on the role of human rights in the international history of the past century. Bringing together original essays from some of the field's leading scholars, this volume not only explores the transnational histories of international and nongovernmental human rights organizations but also analyzes the complex interplay between gender, sociology, and ideology in the making of human rights politics at the local level. Detailed case studies illuminate how a number of local movements—from the 1975 World Congress of Women in East Berlin, to antiapartheid activism in Britain, to protests in Latin America—affected international human rights discourse in the era as well as the ways these moments continue to influence current understanding of human rights history and advocacy. The global south—an area not usually treated as a scene of human rights politics—is also spotlighted in groundbreaking chapters on Biafran, South American, and Indonesian developments. In recovering the remarkable presence of global human rights talk and practice in the 1970's, The Breakthrough brings this pivotal decade to the forefront of contemporary scholarly debate.
