Title: Sustaining Human Rights
Description: "In this book Michelle Bonner reveals how the defense of human rights continues today, taking Argentina as her primary example (with comparison to Chile in the final chapter). Bonner shows that the role of women - viewed as protectors of the family - is key to understanding how human rights movements have evolved." "Based on extensive field research and providing a long historical view extending from colonial times to the present, this study compares the activities of the ten most prominent human rights organizations in Argentina and assesses the responses of both state and society."--BOOK JACKET.
