Book Synopsis Indigenous (In)Justice by : Ahmad Amara
Download or read book Indigenous (In)Justice written by Ahmad Amara and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indigenous Bedouin Arab population in the Naqab/Negev desert in Israel has experienced a history of displacement, intense political conflict, and cultural disruption, along with recent rapid modernization, forced urbanization, and migration. This volume of essays highlights international, national, and comparative law perspectives and explores the legal and human rights dimensions of land, planning, and housing issues, as well as the economic, social, and cultural rights of indigenous peoples. Within this context, the essays examine the various dimensions of the “negotiations” between the Bedouin Arab population and the State of Israel. Indigenous (In)Justice locates the discussion of the Naqab/Negev question within the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict and within key international debates among legal scholars and human rights advocates, including the application of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the formalization of traditional property rights, and the utility of restorative and reparative justice approaches. Leading international scholars and professionals, including the current United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and the former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, are among the contributors to this volume.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights by : Andreas von Arnauld
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights written by Andreas von Arnauld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides in-depth insight to scholars, practitioners, and activists dealing with human rights, their expansion, and the emergence of 'new' human rights. Whereas legal theory tends to neglect the development of concrete individual rights, monographs on 'new' rights often deal with structural matters only in passing and the issue of 'new' human rights has received only cursory attention in literature. By bringing together a large number of emergent human rights, analysed by renowned human rights experts from around the world, and combining the analyses with theoretical approaches, this book fills this lacuna. The comprehensive and dialectic approach, which enables insights from individual rights to overarching theory and vice versa, will ensure knowledge growth for generalists and specialists alike. The volume goes beyond a purely legal analysis by observing the contestation, rhetorics, the struggle for recognition of 'new' human rights, thus speaking to human rights professionals beyond the legal sphere.

Book Synopsis The Gendered Terrain of Maintenance for Women by : Shewli Kumar
Download or read book The Gendered Terrain of Maintenance for Women written by Shewli Kumar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an effort to describe and analyze the reasons why women seek maintenance from their estranged husbands under 125CrPC. Despite the changing development paradigm in India, which is redefining gender roles making women more visible in the economic arena as well as in certain positions of power, a large number of women continue to depend on men for sustenance and survival. The cultural construct of women being dependent needing protection and as symbols of honor of their families and community continue to haunt them throughout their life. While violence against women is one part of the increasing patriarchy in society, on the other hand the dependency of women continues to be another reality reinforced by socio-cultural norms and traditions. In India, within its diverse population, women’s experiences of childhood, adolescence and marriage follow complex patterns. This book explores the 125CrPC, a common law for maintenance, which is one legal measure that women use to find a way out of destitution and get financial relief when a marriage ends. It makes an effort to locate the real life experiences of women in Delhi, who are seeking maintenance, the diversities in these experiences and explains the varied reasons as to why they need to do so. It also looks into why and how they reached the dependent status and what their experiences are while litigating for maintenance in the courts. It unravels the trials that they go through to prove their wifehood as chaste, obedient and pure so they may be granted maintenance and this is significantly highlighted in the book.

Book Synopsis Leviticus by : S. Tamar Kamionkowski
Download or read book Leviticus written by S. Tamar Kamionkowski and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Leviticus provides two different theologies related to God's presence within ancient Israel. Leviticus 1-16 was written by an elite caste of priests (P), and Leviticus 17-26 (H) was added to the book to "democratize" access to God. While the Priestly work has hardly inspired lay readers, the Holiness Writings provide some of the most inspiring and well-known verses from the Bible. This volume shows how gender dynamics shift between the static worldview of P and the dynamic approach of H and that, ironically, as holiness expands from the priests to the people, from the temple to the land of Israel, gender behaviors become more highly regulated. This complicates associations between power and gender dynamics and opens the door to questions about the relationships between power, gender, and theological perspectives.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development Goals and Human Rights by : Markus Kaltenborn
Download or read book Sustainable Development Goals and Human Rights written by Markus Kaltenborn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the interplay of sustainable development and human rights from different perspectives including fight against poverty, health, gender equality, working conditions, climate change and the role of private actors. Each aspect is addressed from a more human rights-focused angle and a development-policy angle. This allows comparisons between the different approaches but also seeks to close gaps which would remain if only one perspective would be at the center of the discussions. Specifically, the book shows the strong connections between human rights and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Already the preamble of this document explicitly states that "the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ... seek to realise the human rights of all". Moreover, several goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda correspond to already existing individual human rights obligations. The contributions of this volume therefore also address how the implementation of human rights and SDGs can reinforce each other, but also point to critical shortcomings of the different approaches.
