Week 6: Citizenship and Rights in the New Republics

First of all, my favourite thing from this week’s reading was learning more about Cuban history.

I thoroughly enjoyed this week’s content as I am personally very interested in the nitty-gritty of rights discourse! Where do they come from? Do they even really exist? Are they simply western constructions? What about the tension between culture and … Continue reading →
