Ronald Niezen addresses this question with imagination and acuity, exploring the extent to which their interplay portends a future of greater political domination, emancipatory potential, or a complex mix of both. A critical issue, and book, worthy of very close attention.\"—John and Jean Comaroff, Harvard University \"No longer confined to the courts and clinical reports, the discourse of human rights is now claimed by activists marching in the streets, spray-painted on urban walls, and invoked to enroll participants and engage allies through social media. Ronald Niezen's groundbreaking and insightful book tracks the emergence of these new mediascapes and compellingly explains why they matter.\"—Stuart Kirsch, author of \u003ci\u003eEngaged Anthropology: Politics beyond the Text\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003e#HumanRights\u003c\/i\u003e shines much-needed light on the use of digital information to illuminate human rights violations around the world.

Social media, artificial intelligence, and digital forensics are reshaping advocacy and compliance. Technicians, lawmakers, and advocates, sometimes in collaboration with the private sector, have increasingly gravitated toward the possibilities and dangers inherent in the nonhuman. \u003ci\u003e#HumanRights\u003c\/i\u003e examines how new technologies interact with older models of rights claiming and communication, influencing and reshaping the modern-day pursuit of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRonald Niezen argues that the impacts of information technologies on human rights are not found through an exclusive focus on sophisticated, expert-driven forms of data management but in considering how these technologies are interacting with other, \"traditional\" forms of media to produce new avenues of expression, public sympathy, redress of grievances, and sources of the self. Niezen considers various ways that the pursuit of justice is happening via new technologies, including crowdsourcing, social media–facilitated mobilizations (and enclosures), WhatsApp activist networks, and the selective attention of Google's search engine algorithm. He uncovers how emerging technologies of data management and social media influence the ways that human rights claimants and their allies pursue justice, and the \"new victimology\" that prioritizes and represents strategic lives and types of violence over others. \u003ci\u003e#HumanRights\u003c\/i\u003e paints a striking and important panoramic picture of the contest between authoritarianism and the new tools by which people attempt to leverage human rights and bring the powerful to account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Utopia and Despair\u003cbr\u003e  1.
