This book presents snapshots of human rights being appropriated, promoted, claimed, reclaimed and contested within and between the American and Middle Eastern contexts. The inquiry has three facets: first, it explores intersections between human rights norms and power as they unfold in the era. Second, it lays out the layers of the era's American and Middle Eastern encounter on the human rights plane. Finally, it draws out the era's key lessons for moving the human rights project forward. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 606 $aHuman rights$zUnited States 606 $aHuman rights$zMiddle East 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 676 $a341.4/8 700 $aMokhtari$b Shadi$f1976-$01535236 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777911003321 996 $aAfter Abu Ghraib$93783330 997 $aUNINA
