- catalog abstract ""A Force Profonde explores conceptions of human rights from Western as well as other major world traditions in an attempt to dispel the notion that tyranny, culture, and religion are the only challenges to human rights. Focusing on regional patterns of conflict, the authors point out that violations often have to do with disputes over class, social status, economic privilege, and personal power. In addition, they contend that conflicts over identity are more prevalent in the West than commonly thought. The contributors confront the enduring questions of how to define shared goals and fashion workable strategies to bridge cultural differences and surmount the many formidable and varying regional obstacles to the advancement of human rights."--Jacket.".
