"Chong makes a provocative argument. He creatively synthesizes a range of literaturesuinternational relations theory, human rights and legal theory, social movement theory, and development studiesuand will add to all of them in unique ways. The book is well researched and extremely timely. This is a much-needed book."uShareen Hertel, University of ConnecticutHuman rights advocacy in the West is changing. In Before the turn of the century, access to goods such as food, housing, and health careuwhile essential to human survivaluwere deemed outside the human rights sphere. Traditional human rights institutions focused on rights in the political arena that could be defended through legal systems.In Freedom from Poverty, Daniel P.L. Chong examines how today's nongovernmental organizations are modifying human rights practices and reshaping the political landscape by taking up the cause of subsistence rights. This book outlines how three types of NGOsuhuman rights, social justice, and humanitarian organizationsuare breaking down barriers by incorporating access to economic and social goods into national laws and advancing subsistence rights through nonjuridical means. These NGOs are using rights not only as legal instruments but as moral and rhetorical implements to build social movements, shape political culture, and guide development work. Rights language is now invoked in churches, political campaigns, rock concerts, and organizational mission statements. Chong presents a social theory of human rights to provide a framework for understanding these changes and defending the legitimacy of these rights.Freedom from Poverty analyzes new trends in the evolution of human rights by combining constructivist and postpositivist legal approaches. This book provides valuable concepts to human rights practitioners, political scientists, antipoverty advocates, and leaders who are serious about ending widespread privation and disease.
