In between reading law cases I have been trying to slide in some interesting books regarding to human rights. I was wondering if any of you had some recommendations? A list books I have gone through recently are:
The Culture of Make Believe (a book about what makes America such a destructive society)
Mountains Beyond Mountains (up lifting book about a doctor in Haiti)
First World Ha Ha Ha! The Zapatista Movement
Problem From Hell: America in the Age of Genocide (chronicles of genocide since WWII and reasoning behind the lack of American involvement)
A Little Matter of Genocide (evaluation of US relations with indigenous Americans)
Overthrow (History of American Foreign Policy that resulted in overthow of foreign government)
