In Our Own Best Interest: How Defending Human Rights Benefits Us All

Front Cover
Beacon Press, 2001 - Political Science - 235 pages
"Schulz provides answers with an insightful work, generously laced with compelling stories of women and men from all continents, which clearly delineates the connection between our prosperity here in the United States and human rights violations throughout the globe. The book reveals the high cost of indifference not only in ethical and moral terms, but in terms of the political, economic, environmental, and public health consequences in our own backyards."--BOOK JACKET.
