Description: Makau Mutua contends that if the human rights movement is to succeed, it must move away from Eurocentrism as a civilizing crusade and. attack on non-European peoples- Only a genuine multicultural approach to human rights can make it truly universal. Indigenous, non-European traditions of Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Americas must be deployed to deconstruct-and to reconstruct-a universal bundle of rights that all human societies can claim as theirs.
