Vernacular Rights Cultures
The Critical South Asia Group at Warwick presents: Vernacular Rights Cultures
How to decolonise global human rights? This panel discussion will launch Sumi Madhok's new book Vernacular Rights Cultures.
Thursday 20 January 2022
17:30 – 19:00 GMT (Online)
About this event:
Vernacular Rights Cultures argues that decolonising global human rights requires a serious epistemic accounting of the historically and politically specific encounters with human rights, and of the forms of world-making that underpin the stakes and struggles for rights and human rights around the globe. It demonstrates that subaltern struggles call into being different and radical ideas of justice, politics and citizenship, and open up different possibilities and futures for human rights.
