| Zusammenfassung: | This book identifies the centers of aesthetic gravity that pull texts together into a new genre: namely, the novel of human rights. What connective structures and recurring concerns can be discerned at this early stage in the development of the genre? How do its ethical pressures generate formal patterns and, in turn, how do its formal patterns generate ethical pressures? And finally, since both the textual and political forms are rapidly evolving, what can this rising genre teach us about the near futures of literature and literary studies? While rigorously attending to form, The Novel of Human Rights addresses the key developments and debates of the contemporary human rights movement, revealing how human rights work has shaped the aesthetic concerns of novelists and how those same aesthetic concerns have affected human rights work. Writers of interest span a wide range, countable in the dozens. Some of those who receive extended attention include John Edgar Wideman, Susan Choi, Dave Eggers, Francisco Goldman, and Edwidge Danticat.... |

INDEX 225
The Novel of Human Rights defines a new, dynamic
American literary genre. It incorporates key debates
within the contemporary human rights movement in
the United States, and in turn influences the ideas
and rhetoric of that discourse.
In James Dawes’s framing, the novel of human
rights takes as its theme a range of atrocities at
home and abroad, scrambling the distinction be-
tween human rights within and beyond national
borders. Some novels critique America’s conception
of human rights by pointing out U.S. exploitation of
international crises. Other novels endorse an
American ethos of individualism and citizenship
as the best hope for global equality. Some
narratives depict human rights workers as re-
sponding to an urgent ethical necessity, while
others see only inefficient institutions dedicated
to their own survival. Surveying the work of
Chris Abani, Susan Choi, Edwidge Danticat,
Dave Eggers, Nathan Englander, Francisco
Goldman, Anthony Marra, and John Edgar
Wideman, among others, Dawes finds traces
of slave narratives, Holocaust literature, war
novels, and expatriate novels, along with earlier
traditions of justice writing.
The novel of human rights responds to deep
forces within America’s politics, society, and culture,
Dawes shows. His illuminating study clarifies many
ethical dilemmas of today’s local and global politics
and helps us think our way, through them, to a better
future. Vibrant and modern, the human rights novel
reflects our own time and aspires to shape the world
we will leave for those who come after.
