Synopsis

Human rights is a sprawling subject; notwithstanding, the corralled text hugs the content of the Declaration and gives a clear account of its Articles, with vivid narrated and pictorial examples of the promotion and violation of rights. The book has morphed from two slide packs with teachers’ booklets which were published for older secondary school students in 1985. Forty years later, more and modern examples of rights have been added in blue text to vividly portray how technological progress has refined human rights. The text has been expanded to also arrest the interest of adults, coupled with the addition of photographs taken during the ensuing decades. The author’s meetings with Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Joan Baez have resulted in enhancements to the illustrations and text.
