Exploring the complex interplay between state boundaries and human rights, the book critiques prevailing views of cosmopolitanism and nationalism, particularly in the context of the Third World. It reveals how both perspectives oversimplify threats to human rights, either by blaming internal factors or viewing the international landscape as neo-imperialist. Through analysis of literary figures and contemporary activism, the author illustrates a nuanced protest sensibility that integrates both nationalist and cosmopolitan elements, advocating for a more comprehensive understanding of these threats.
