Clearly passionate and committed, Crystal Parikh has read broadly and deeply into this very exciting topic and opens up a range of provocative questions. --David Palumbo-Liu, author of The Deliverance of Others: Reading Literature in a Global Age In this ambitious study, Crystal Parikh shows how the literature of writers of color has always been preoccupied with what are now called 'human rights.' Her wide-ranging and urgent readings, written with the precision and care of a passionate literary and social critic, reminds us of how much literature matters in imagining and demanding justice and humanity. --Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Refugees and The Sympathizer
