The plethora of literature produced over the past decade in response to the perceived failure of the human rights project to deliver results for billions of people living in 'adverse¿ environments has usually focused on internationallegal standards and mechanisms, with little regard for the root structural realities that constrain their implementation. Hence, a text that primarily focuses on the major challenge of realisation of human rights in the context of diverse realities is urgently needed. This book, then, provides an analytical aswell as inspirational text on human rights from a contextual perspective; it offers a reconceptualisation of human rights as not merely legal resources, but political tools as well.
