{"product_id":"the-idea-of-a-human-rights-museum-9780887557828","title":"The Idea of a Human Rights Museum","description":"\"The Idea of a Human Rights Museum\" is the first book to examine the formation of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and to situate the museum within the context of the international proliferation of such institutions. Sixteen essays consider the wider political, cultural and architectural contexts within which the museum physically and conceptually evolved drawing comparisons between the CMHR and institutions elsewhere in the world that emphasize human rights and social justice. This collection brings together authors from diverse fields--law, cultural studies, museum studies, sociology, history, political science, and literature--to critically assess the potentials and pitfalls of human rights education through \"ideas\" museums. Accessible, engaging, and informative, the collection's essays will encourage museum-goers to think more deeply about the content of human rights exhibits. The Idea of a Human Rights Museum is the first title in the University of Manitoba Press's Human Rights and Social Justice Series. This series publishes work that explores the quest for social justice and the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, including civil, political, economic, social, collective, and cultural rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3753857\"\u003eKaren Busby\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Manitoba Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.02h x 4.77w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887557828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887557821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL035010\"\u003eHuman Rights\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL004000\"\u003eCivil Rights\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS054000\"\u003eSocial History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Busby \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Muller \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor in the Department of English, Film, and Theatre at the University of Manitoba. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Woolford \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Sociology at the University of Manitoba.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Manitoba Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44707466117357,"sku":"9780887557828","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_d31c3e75-553d-4bcf-b629-02b250539d95.jpg?v=1703970839","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-idea-of-a-human-rights-museum-9780887557828","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
