International perspectives on education Book

I only read the chapters recommended by my professor. We discussed this book in class. By and large, human rights discourse has been so far complicit with the capitalist mode of production and thrived because of the global capital. Nevertheless, tainted origin should not determine a doomed future. Let's all remember that life was not better in whatever sense before the capital, nostalgia will not get us to where we want to be. We need to locate moral and ethical potential of current human rights discourse, thoroughly examine all claims of violation of human rights and their connection to global capital. Only then can we start to live up the promises of the Enlightenment project and think of ways to improve further.
