Too many facts, not enough analysis
Kristian Williams is to be commended for thoroughly documenting our use of torture, both outside and within our own borders, and for showing that it is neither a series of isolated incidents, as the official line goes, nor foreign to our culture.

Aung San Suu Kyi
The best writing I've ever read ... about striving democracy in peace... I love That Woman!!!!

The eloquent voice of an often forgotten but mighty land
I re-read this book shortly after Aung San Suu Kyi was placed, once again, under house arrest in 2003. The daughter of the man who is referred as the founding father of Burma(today called Myanmar) - Aung San - is herself a major political figure in her country. The chapter about her father - who was assassinated when the author was two years old - is an impressive, informative, and dispassionate account of Aung San's days as a student leader and his leadership of the independence movement that established modern Burma as a nation. My own father was a foreign correspondent in Burma in the late 1940s and had covered the assassination of Aung San and his colleagues. This left me since my childhood with a deep curiosity about this period of Burmese history - and Aung San's daughter's account does not leave curious readers like myself disappointed. Most of the book is devoted to the life and times of Suu Kyi herself. It includes several articles by other writers who help readers understand how a Burmese woman rises to national prominence in a country which has known but unbroken military dictatorship for decades. This book is also about Burmese culture, religion, and language, and should be on the bookshelf on anyone who has a serious interest in this curious, wretched country of tremendous unfulfilled potential. Indispensible
This book was for me an opener into the evolution of Burma's political scene, and it proved to be a good one. Read more

A Sprawling, Wonderful History of ACLU, Warts and All
Samuel Walker has created a wonderful book on the history of the ACLU, In Defense of American Liberties, that is a must for anyone concerned with the history of freedom of speech and the men and women who fought for them in America.This book shows the development from fringe to mainstream of the ideas shared by a group of people in the 1910's.The book is by no means hagiography as the darker moments of the ACLU are presented with clarity, such as their hounding and forcing out of Communist members simply for their beliefs.It is both very informative and truly entertaining.A wonderful book that demonstrates the importance the ACLU has had in the twentienth century shaping political ideas. ...

Good examination into an overlooked history
The release of this book, which is a well-documented look at the interesting relationship between Martin Luther King and American Jews, is quite timely and appropriate. In these early days of the millennium, Black-Jewish relationships seem to currently be on the mend from the low points of the 1990s, and books like this may help in the recovery process. Also quite well written with some little known information and rarely-read speechs by MLK on Black-Jewish realtions.

A timely history
You mean blacks and Jews did not all walk hand-in-hand during the Fifties and Sixties, even though nearly 70% of white Freedom Riders were Jewish?You mean not everyone prayed with their feet like Rabbi Heschel in Selma?You're telling me that president of the UAHC, leaders in social action, wasforced by his members to withdraw an invitation to King to speak at thegroup's 1959 convention in Miami?Did the Reverend James Bevel, a leaderof the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Selma, Ala., actuallywear a kippah (freedom beanie) at his rallies and it protected him from thesheriffs?In this book, Rabbi Schneir tells us the story of ReverendDoctor Martin Luther King's support for human and civil rights for Jews,his use of the Jewish experience in his speeches, and his call for theBaptists to stop trying to convert Jews. He also tells us the story ofJewish avid support of and reluctance to support King's movement.RabbiSchneir, the son of Rabbi Arthur Schneir of Manhattan's Park EastSynagogue, is a rabbi, founding rabbi of the West Hampton Synagogue,planner of the Palm Beach Synagogue, force behind a newcross-denominational rabbinical assembly, leader of the New York Board ofRabbis, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, and member ofthe NAACP. Schneier is quite frank, and includes the wariness of somesupporters of the far-left-wing Jews in King's entourage.He alsodiscusses King's attitudes toward Israel, Zionism, militarism and the SixDay War.By the way, while King may have been dis-invited to a conventionin 1959, by 1968, when King spoke at the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly'sconvention, he was greeted by over a thousand rabbis singing "We ShallOvercome" in Hebrew.King was planning to join Rabbi Abraham JoshuaHeschel's family for a Pesach seder in 1968, but was assassinated before hecould. ...

Editorial Review

Privacy isn't all it's made out to be, says George Washington University scholar Amitai Etzioni. "Without privacy no society can long remain free," he writes, but our communities also have other goals that sometimes must override the privacy imperative. "Should the FBI be in a position to crack the encrypted messages employed by terrorists before they use them to orchestrate the next Oklahoma City bombing?" he asks. Etzioni's answer is a resounding "yes," and he applies similar logic to a number of areas. He believes, for example, that newborn babies should undergo HIV tests without parental consent because they could benefit from immediate treatment, even though mothers worried about personal revelations might object. He also supports the various sorts of "Megan's laws" that try to protect society against sex offenders. Read more

A Balanced View for the Privacy Debate
Since the 1960's, an emphasis on individualism and personal autonomy have shaped public policy debates, including debates about the right to personal privacy.While many scholars and advocacy groups claim that privacy is under seige, an alternate view of privacy exists, one in which it is weighed against other public interests.In The Limits of Privacy, Etzioni espouses a communitarian approach to determining the relative value and, as the title suggests, the limits of privacy.Privacy, the author argues, is not an absolute right, but is a right that must be carefully measured against the "common good," which for Etzioni is defined as public health and safety.At the heart of this book is the question of if and when we are justified in implementing measures that diminish privacy in the service of the common good.
Excellent public policy book
If one seeks a current book that is creating great controversy in the public policy field, "The Limits of Privacy" should fulfill your search.This book combines philosophical discussions with actual issues and then draws its own conclusions.Whether one agrees or not with the author's opinions, this book definitely creates spirited debate. One man's view of privacy
This book gives the pros and cons of several policies and practices concerning privacy. I found it refreshing to have a book that tries to be balanced. People at the extremes will not agree with the author's view thattechnnology is not all bad or all good. It is not a technical discussionbut I didn't find it to violate technical plausibilty at any point. ... Read more

An admirable effort, but not engaging
I hesitate to write a review of this book because I am reluctant to critique a very noble and dilligent effort by Barkan to document reparations movements and issues from throughout the world; I can only imagine the time and effort it took to write this.It's very well documented, and I cited it in my research.I just didn't find it very engaging personally, but that doesn't mean that others won't find it meaningful.

Callous disregard of the vistims
"Those who love to feel guilty will applaud the book." How cynical! I'd have let it pass if it weren't for the "17 of 20 people (who) found the following review (by Derek Parker) helpful." Parker, like most white Australians, is totally into denial that the genocide started by invaders 213 years ago is the one and only cause for the abject state of the indigenous peoples who have not ceded sovereignty. Nine out of 10 were wiped out by slaughter, starvation, disease and dispersal from their lands. Massacres were still happening within the life spans of present-day parents and grandparents. Indigenous Australians live 20 years less on average than other people in the country. I could bore you with endless statistics testifying to the continuing devastation of Australia's First Peoples through the ongoing white war on them: deprival of education, health care, jobs, 20 times the normal imprisonment rate, etc., etc. What Parker obviously doesn't like is that the tyranny of distance no longer works and White Australia's crimes are more and more in the world spotlight, including in this book. Australia is getting plenty of stick in international bodies for not living up to human rights agreements it has signed up to. The issue is if not the biggest, then one of the biggest on the national agenda. Parker and his camp would be yelling loudest if present-day Germans were to shirk their responsibility for restitution to the Jews. Yet to him Australian perpetrators are sacrosanct. Parker alleges that "Barkan acts as if there are no difficult questions at all" in regard to the Aborigines, and "Largely, he accepts the claims put forward by the wronged group, dismissing contrary arguments." I would like Parker to back his claims that Barkan's "selection of evidence seems so one-sided as to almost be misleading" and that he's made a "number of straightforward errors." In my view, Barkan, as a non-Australian, has a remarkably accurate take on our country. "He seems to assume that the fact that someone has been wronged makes anything they say automatically correct." - Barkan does not. To speak of a "victim/victimiser methodology" is callous disregard of the pain our indigenous people still suffer and a vicious panning of those who empathize with them. "There are important issues of human dignity here." - You bet! Yet the Australian government is refusing to allow various United Nations human rights sub-bodies into the country to investigate. "How much responsibility can be placed on the shoulders of people who might well have been ignorant, or even born after, the wrongdoing?" - So we don't attone or restitute in any way once our parents and grandparents are no more? Tough luck for those suffering among us if our ancestors wronged theirs? If we're living off the fat of an invasion, and those invaded still suffer the after-effects? "The case he discusses where, in Australia in the 1960s, half-caste Aboriginal children were removed from their families and placed in (white) foster homes is a case in point. It now seems wrong, but at the time was done with benevolent intent." - The stealing of children went on for more than a hundred years. The plan was to "breed the colour out" of the indigenous people, not some benevolent intent. How can removing children from extended families by force ever be benevolent? Merely on the pretext that a traditional lifestyle did not fit in with the growing white settler population's idea of how one had to live? "Historical injustice deserves a great book." - and a better review than Mr. Parker's. "The Guilt of Nations" is good stuff. Hopefully it will reach many readers and put Australia's deniers on notice that more and more of the world is watching.

Not proven
Barkan has to be commended, at least, for taking on a huge subject: the attempts of groups, seen increasingly over the past quarter-century, who have been the victims of government policies and wrongdoing to seek recognition and redress. The Guilt of Nations has introductory andconcluding sections that thoughtfully discuss the issues involved, tryingto establish a general framework. Philosophically and practically, it's atough subject.There is, in liberal societies, an ongoing tension betweenindividual and group rights, and limits on government resources. Theparticular circumstances of the wrongdoing also have to be examined.Barkan, as a means of illustrating the problems, looks at the post-warrestitution by Germany to Jews; and, in a concluding section, examines thedifficulty of compensating Black Americans for slavery. These parts of thebook are well-considered and well-argued.The problem of The Guilt ofNations lies with the case studies that make up the middle section of thebook, especially in the chapters dealing with indigenous groups. Here,Barkan acts as if there are no difficult questions at all. Largely, heaccepts the claims put forward by the wronged group, dismissing contraryarguments. Indeed, in the chapter on Aboriginal issues in Australia ( asubject this reviewer happens to know something about ) his selection ofevidence seems so one-sided as to almost be misleading. There is (in thissame chapter) a number of straightforward errors that make one wonderwhether his agenda is not more important to Barkan (who is an academichistorian) than the facts. He seems to assume that the fact that someonehas been wronged makes anything they say automatically correct. This is notto say that victims should be blamed for what might have happened to them:it is to say that human events can be much more complicated than avictim/victimiser methodology. This is a great pity, because there areimportant issues of human dignity here. The cases of the "comfort women"used by the Japanese army in World War II and the internment ofJapanese-Americans by the US government in 1942 are undeniably affecting,especially insofar as a recognition of the wrong done to them was moreimportant to those involved than monetary compensation. Yet Barkan, in whatseems to be a rush to condemn the perpetrators (as he refers to those hedoesn't like) seems to miss a crucial dilemma: how much responsibility canbe placed on the shoulders of people who might well have been ignorant, oreven born after, the wrongdoing? (Actually, Barkan does mention thisquestion. But he doesn't answer it in a meaningful form; he sort of assumesit away.) There is another question he skips around: to what extent can themorality of 2000 being applied to quite different social circumstances?True, there are cases where evil is so obvious as to have no defence incircumstances; equally, there are cases where what now seems wrong seemedright, even necessary, at the time. The case he discusses where, inAustralia in the 1960s, half-caste Aboriginal children were removed fromtheir families and placed in (white) foster homes is a case in point. Itnow seems wrong, but at the time was done with benevolent intent. It mighthave been wrong, but it cannot be called evil if evil requires intent. ButBarkan fails to makes such a distinction, and does not even seem interestedin trying.Historical injustice deserves a great book. The Guilt ofNations isn't it. Parts of it have interesting things to say, but it veersbetween seriousness and silliness. Those who love to feel guilty willapplaud the book. The rest of us will, and should, treat it with caution. ... Read more

Mostly incomprehensible
It is claimed that the Bush administration is loaded with neo-conservatives, supposedly followers of Strauss, who is known as the preeminent natural rights philosopher. So, do natural rights have a thing to do with their policies? First one must find out what a natural right is.
Societies good vs. individual rights
Leo Strauss was a 20th century philosopher who spent his life studying and espousing the teachings of classical philosophical ideas."Natural Right and History" delineates the fight between those who believe in the predominance of societal rights over individual rights.Here are a few quotes that help explain Strauss's thinking in this tug of war."The contemporary rejection of natural rights leads to nihilism.""When liberals have to make a choice between natural right and individualism they gave up natural right, they want to be politically correct and tolerant of diversity and `individualism'"."In the case of man, reason is required for discerning what is by nature right with the ultimate regard to man's natural end".
Review
I feel myself lucky to have a chance to read Strauss' "Natural Right and History", "Liberalism Ancient and Modern" and also "Studies in Platonic Political Philosophy". The books open new horizons to the reader to look at human history as a whole and bring interesting possibilities and different perspectives into the life of modern humanity.As commonly said whether Strauss' attempts to understand humanity and its struggle in life in terms of philosophy and religion are reached in a satisfactory state or not or his resolutions could be accepted as universal truths, certainly his challenge, wisdom and determination to bring many salient inalienable problems of human being he eternally confronts and challenges in the universe could not be ignorable and shall be visited honorably. ...

UN Committees
I had looked forward to reading the book as it looked like a comprehensive coverage of NGO activity in the area of human rights and the UN.While giving substantive coverage on the committees and bodies of the UNCommission on Human Rights, Korey omitted any mention of the work of theSpecial Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the HumanRights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the OccupiedTerritories, or the work of the NGOs in this very important area.Theinclusion of this subject would have given the book a more balanced andscholarly appeal.

Deftly describes the human rights impact of the NGO's.
In this book, William Korey deftly describes how NGO's, the Non-Governmental Organizations officially accredited to the United Nations, have had a powerful influence in sensitizing mankind's conscience to thefrequent violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which wasadopted by the UN fifty years ago.It was the NGO's which laid thegroundwork for the destruction of the Soviet Empire, as well as theApartheid system in South Africa, and established the principle ofaccountability for crimes against humanity.In this book, William Koreyhas demonstrated that is the NGO's which have placed human rights at thethe heart of humankinds current and future agenda. ...

Applies Freire to American context
Gil, working within the worldview of Paulo Freire (see Pedagogy of the Oppressed), presents theories, policies, and practices for social workers who wish to change more than the immediate ills affecting their clients.Social workers who wish to make an impact on the root causes of social disadvantages, termed "radical social workers" by Gil, are encouraged to embrace foundational assumptions that are, at a minimum, highly debatable. a beautifully written book

Scholarly analysis of the contradictions of globalization
Alison Brysk is an Associate Professor at the University of California-Irvine. Eleven of Ms. Brysk's colleagues from academia have contributed outstanding original research to this book. Most of the authors are specialists in political science, women's studies, international law and related fields. The focus is on how human rights may become more or less secure as a result of globalization. The end result is a scholarly analysis of the contradictions of globalization that no doubt will give thoughtful readers much to consider.Read more

revolutionary writings by a man of courage....
Yes.Canonize him.Martin-Baro gave his life to prove that psychology had more business than as an on-the-shelf academic discipline.Using its methods to highlight the misery of his El Salvadoran people, hedemonstrated how powerful a psychology relevant to the needs of theoppressed can be.Very inspiring.

Canonize This Man, Please
Ignacio Martin-Baro is probably better known in the U.S. as one of the slain Jesuit priests of El Salvador than as the ingenious psychologist that he was.Aron and Corne do U.S. psychologists, who are more often than notbarred by their lack of facility with the Spanish language from a largebody of important psychological literature, a huge favor by editing thiscarefully chosen and lovingly prepared volume of his translated works.Because the writings they have selected span the period from 1974, shortlybefore Martin-Baro initiated graduate work at the University of Chicago, to1989, when he was murdered, we as readers are able to observe thematuration of his perspective as well as the many ways he applied hispsychological knowledge and training in what can only be described as a"limit situation"-- namely, El Salvador in the late l970s throughthe mid 1980s.In these works, Martin-Baro addressed several themes ofincreasing global significance, including the effects political repressionon the human psyche, the effects of war on children, the relation betweenreligious ideology and political activity, and the nature of industrialpsychology from the perspective of the under- and unemployed. Of greatestsignificance to psychologists, however, were his overarching themes,namely, the collusive role of mainstream psychology in human oppression andthe necessary role of the psychologist in human liberation.Borrowing fromFreire's famed concept of conscientizacao, Martin-Baro demonstrated howpsychologists can act as agents of the development of criticalconsciousness, both through their nurturance of individuals in the processof psychological healing and development and through their interventions,as privileged and powerful members of society, upon the diseasedsocio-economic/political system itself.Through their insightful,passionate, and well-researched commentary, Aron and Corne demonstrate thatMartin-Baro indeed lived and died by his praxis, proving that psychology'scurrent state of critical inertia is not a necessary condition. In myopinion, Martin-Baro is destined to become the patron saint ofpsychology--and, boy, does it need one.

A must reading for any caring, thinking human being!
