"Overall, this is a timely and informative volume ... the volume's most distinctive contribution, namely, its anti-essentialist perspective on people's rights and the elucidation of the ways in which rights can have both empowering and contstraining effects depending on their discoursive articulations and the political ends that the latter serve." - Modern Law Review
