Geneviève Souillac is associate lecturer in the Department of French Studies, School of European, Asian, and Middle Eastern Languages at the University of Sydney.
[This book] sheds light on the originality of the contemporary
French debate on human rights. In so doing, it makes an important
contribution to a global debate and should have significant impact
on the fields of political theory, sociology, law, and history of
political thought.

Professor, Department of Political Science*
The gap between the French and the Anglo-American perspectives on
human rights is not only political, it is also philosophical. This
eloquent book helps to bridge that gap. It should be essential
reading for Anglo-American students of human rights who hope to
find out what the rest of the world is thinking.
