Description: Poland's Solidarity Movement and the Global Politics of Human Rights by Robert Brier Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Robert Brier examines how human rights emerged as the dominant political language of our time. By showing how Polish dissidents were entangled in international debates on human rights and political resistance, he demonstrates how human rights became a contested source of legitimacy. Publisher Description In the historiography of human rights, the 1980s feature as little more than an afterthought to the human rights breakthrough of the previous decade. Through an examination of one of the major actors of recent human rights history – Polands Solidarity movement – Robert Brier challenges this view. Suppressed in 1981, Polands Solidarity movement was supported by a surprisingly diverse array of international groups: US Cold Warriors, French left-wing intellectuals, trade unionists, Amnesty International, even Chilean opponents of the Pinochet regime. By unpacking the politics and transnational discourses of these groups, Brier demonstrates how precarious the position of human rights in international politics remained well into the 1980s. More importantly, he shows that human rights were a profoundly political and highly contested language, which actors in East and West adopted to redefine their social and political identities in times of momentous cultural and intellectual change. Author Biography Robert Brier is a historian focusing on the intersection of international relations and intellectual history in the late twentieth century. He was Senior Researcher at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw from 2008–2015 and taught International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science from 2015–2018.
