Freedom: Stories Celebrating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ReviewReading the foreword from South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu is reason enough for this book. Reading Joyce Carole Oates in this context is reason enough for her writing. And here we meet once more Nadine Gordimer! Read above all Hector Aguilar Camin, in the original. See Paulo Coehlo, and all, and all.
Too often this seems an opportunity for a writer to show off her chops rather than exhort the right under question, and for this we require a more explicit examination of the meaning of each of these rights, essential to human life on this earth, and the explicit evidence of their violations in our nation.
Did you know we have a Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Do you know its history, and the history of its international acceptance? Do you know we violate this declaration continually and systematically; that this violation we have institutionalized?
Do you know that children, and woman, also have a declaration of rights, unapproved in our nation, as, among other things, excluding children from war and slavery?
let us see these rights as summarized in the chapter headings:
Article One
All are born free and equal.
even those born in our nation of illegalized parentage?

these rights are universal
not just for those who can pay

life liberty and security of the person
