Description: Bringing together some of the most respected scholars in the field, including Inderpal Grewal, Leela Fernandes, Leigh Gilmore, Susan Koshy, Patrice McDermott, and Sidonie Smith, Just Advocacy? sheds light on the often overlooked ways that women and children are further subjugated when political or humanitarian groups represent them solely as victims and portray the individuals that are helping them as paternal saviors.

Review Quotes: Interdisciplinary in design and transnational in scope, this book brings together some of the best new work in feminist scholarship on human rights.--Patrice Petro "professor and director of the Center for International Education at the Universi"
