Summary:	"This book examines the 'cultural apparatus' of human rights in India today. It unravels discourses of victimhood, oppression, suffering and witnessing through a study of autobiographies, memoirs, literature, reportage and media coverage, and documentaries. ... [It] emphasizes the need for an ethical turn to literary-cultural studies and a cultural turn to Human Rights studies"--Cover, p. [4].
