商品簡介
Bajaj (education, Department of International Transcultural Studies, Columbia University) traces the rise and impact of human rights education (HRE) in India over the past 30 years, stressing that strategy is as important as content and pedagogy in securing support for HRE. The author's observations, focus groups, and interviews with students, teachers, parents, and policymakers demonstrate that the impact of HRE differs depending on the social location of students and teachers. Opening chapters review theories of HRE and survey education pedagogy and human rights policy in India. One chapter is devoted to the activities of the Institute of Human Rights Education. Later chapters discuss HRE for marginalized youth, building solidarity through HRE, human rights in India as religious morality and as left politics. The book closes with recommendations.
