Human Rights and Free Trade in Mexico Reviews

"This is a highly original and ground-breaking study, a sophisticated empirical look at the use of human rights discourse to construct collective identities in order to address social and economic grievances. Estévez also deals with some important theoretical issues in the field of human rights, particularly whether there is a specific Latin American approach human rights, different from dominant Western mainstream discourses. This theoretical and substantive approach will be valuable to scholars of human rights, social movements, and contemporary Mexican and Latin American politics." - Francisco Panizza, Senior Lecturer in Latin American Politics, London School of Economics
