Kommentar
This course surveys the history of transnational advocacy for human rights from its missionary and anti-slavery ancestors to the present times. While we will cover the longue durée of international human rights activism, a major focus will be on the 1940s to 1980s. We will explore themes such as indigenous rights, the history of Prisoners of War, the rise of Amnesty International and its 1980s rock concerts, how pop musician Sting tried to save the tropical rainforest, and why German adventurer Rüdiger Nehberg set out to save the Yanomami.
In January 2020, the class also includes a (virtual) four-week cooperation with the history class of Dominique Marshall at Carleton University in Canada. Class sessions will be taught jointly during this time, and JFKI students will work together on common projects with Carleton University students.
