Summary
"The Effluent Eye argues for the decolonization of human rights, attributing their failure not simply to state and institutional malfeasance but to the very concept of human rights as anthropocentric-and, therefore, fatally shortsighted. Combining witnessed experience with an array of decolonial texts, Rosemary J. Jolly argues that the granting of "rights" to individuals is meaningless in a world compromised by pollution, poverty, and successive pandemics"-- Provided by publisher.
