The relationship between anthropology and human rights has been marked by a
sense that anthropology’s most important contributions to human rights theory
and practice are yet to come. A certain irony infuses the contested political and
intellectual histories within which anthropology and anthropologists have
alternately danced on both tip-toes and heavy heels around human rights. As a
modern academic discipline, anthropology has never fully relinquished its claim
to being the “science of mankind” par excellence, the discipline whose knowledge
practices, ethical sensitivities, and professional commitments seek to most
comprehensively apprehend and inform the complexities of the human
experience itself. This is a “holism” of the most clear-eyed and ambitious kind:
the recognition that the comparative practice of everyday life must be understood,
however selectively, in both the conjunctive and the disjunctive, as both an
expression of certain vague universal patterns and a reflection of what is
absolutely irreducible about this practice in this place at this particular moment in
time. And if anthropology has been at all successful in its efforts to holistically
document and analyze the human experience, it is odd indeed to have to
acknowledge that the findings of anthropological research, and the theoretical
frameworks that anthropologists have derived from these findings, played at best
a marginal role in the development of the modern idea of human rights and the
international legal and political system that was constructed to give effect to the
idea.
The normative claims and underlying assumptions of the contemporary
idea of human rights are both simple to understand and radically provocative,
particularly when we remember that they were foisted onto a wounded world at
precisely that historical moment in which the trajectory of western civilization in
which they were – in earlier versions – a constant presence had come to a
crashing and dark standstill. All the pretensions of scientific progress, western
rationality, and the modern bureaucratic state perished right along with the victims
of the Nazis’ murderous regime, yet these were as integral to western intellectual
history as were ideas about the nature of the individual, ideas that formed the
basis of the pioneering human rights declarations and political constitutions of
late eighteenth-century France and the United States and early nineteenth-
century Latin America. So it was a remarkable and perhaps desperate act of
moral and political courage for those who were charged with picking up the pieces
at the end of World War II to make the multiple assertions of human rights the
centerpiece of the postwar settlement: that all human beings are essentially the
same; that this essential sameness has normative implications; that this essential
sameness must be recognized and protected through a regime of rights (among
many other normative possibilities); and that to recognize – and act on – the
essential sameness of humanity is an unqualified moral good.
