Stanford Studies in Human Rights
Se Deus Fosse um Ativista dos Direitos Humanos
Se Deus fosse um ativista dos direitos humanos, Ele ou Ela estaria em busca de uma concepção contra-hegemônica dos direitos humanos e de uma prática coerente com ela. Nesta obra, o autor centra-se nas dificuldades e contradições enfrentadas pelos direitos humanos quando confrontados com movimentos que reivindicam presença da religião na esfera pública. Propõe uma aliança entre as diferentes teologias da libertação existentes em diferentes religiões e concepções contra-hegemônicas de direitos humanos. Este desafio exige tradução intercultural.
