Winifred Tate, an anthropologist and activist with extensive experience in Colombia, finds that radically different ideas about human rights have shaped three groups of human rights professionals working there--nongovernmental activists, state representatives, and military officers. Drawing from the life stories of high-profile activists, pioneering interviews with military officials, and research at the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva, Counting the Dead underscores the importance of analyzing and understanding human rights discourses, methodologies, and institutions within the context of broader cultural and political debates. 410 0$aCalifornia series in public anthropology. 606 $aHuman rights advocacy$zColombia 606 $aPolitical persecution$zColombia 607 $aColombia$xPolitics and government$y1974- 607 $aColombia$xSocial conditions$y1970- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman rights advocacy 615 0$aPolitical persecution 676 $a323.09861 700 $aTate$b Winifred$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01014522 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247971403316 996 $aCounting the Dead$92364463 997 $aUNISA
