Description
Gundogdu offers a critical inquiry of human rights by rethinking Hannah Arendt's political theory in the light of the challenging questions posed by contemporary struggles of migrants. Arendt wrote about the plight of statelessness in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and there have been remarkable developments in the field of human rights since then. Despite all the changes, however, various categories of migrants, especially asylum seekers, refugees, and undocumented immigrants, continue to find it very difficult to access human rights.
