Transnational Justice, Human Rights and Democracy in a Postcolonial World

Cover of Nikita Dhawan: Decolonizing Enlightenment (PDF)

Do norms of justice, human rights and democracy enable disenfranchised communities? Or do they simply reinforce relations of domination between those who are constituted as dispensers of justice, rights and aid, and those who are coded as receivers? Critical race theorists, feminists and queer and postcolonial theorists confront these questions and offer critical perspectives.
