Review Quotes:
"Harrowingly timely ... It is a well-written and insightful book that provides critical and timely insights into the shortcomings of international human rights law and the lived experiences of Palestinian young people." --Human Rights Law Review
"Erika Jiménez's book is a necessary contribution to the fields of human rights education and Palestine studies. While not the first to examine HRE in the OPT, it brings something significantly new to the table." --International Journal of Human Rights Education "The book is an essential reading for HRE academics and practitioners ... A particular strength of the book is the layered approach in which the analysis is conducted and presented, as it facilitates a meaningful exploration of the complexities and nuances of human rights as experienced by young Palestinians." --Human Rights Education Review
