"Kennedy writes with great wisdom and experience about the idealism and the decline of the human rights movement, and the many obstacles it faces, most important, on the ground. He writes openly and eloquently about the unresolvable barriers between the victims and the people who act to help them."--Susan Salter-Reynolds, Los Angeles Times"Kennedy tackles questions about the role and usefulness of human-rights workers with a combination of narrative drive and honesty. This is a tale of the bright sides and the dark sides of the humanitarian world built by good intentions."--Times Higher Education
. His books include "The Dark Sides of Virtue: Reassessing International Humanitarianism" and "Of War and Law" (both Princeton). David Kennedy is vice president for international affairs at Brown University and holds chairs in law at both Brown and Harvard Law School
Deeply Moving The Rights of Spring crosses over from legal literature into something that usually would be associated with fictional literature at its best. Aesthetically beautiful, an entertaining read, and most importantly leaves you with that displaced feeling at the end of the book, that is both melancholy and hopeful - in other words, for all its deconstruction of the humanitarian project, it ultimately presents its own very deeply felt humanity. Can't recommend it enough; a must read.
