Human rights in Canada : a history / Dominique Clément.
"This book shows how human rights became the primary language for social change in Canada and how a single decade became the locus for that emergence. The author argues that the 1970s was a critical moment in human rights history--one that transformed political culture, social movements, law, and foreign policy. 'Human Rights in Canada' is one of the first sociological studies of human rights in Canada. It explains that human rights are a distinct social practice, and it documents those social conditions that made human rights significant at a particular historical moment."-- Provided by publisher.
