This assignment is to compose a review essay on a clearly­defined area of contemporary research in the anthropology of human rights. You should do secondary research to decide upon a selection of published studies that exemplify the state of the art of research in an area of concern in human rights scholarship. Publications can include articles, book chapters, and encyclopedia entries, and your essay should attempt to provide a clear outline of the human rights concept or topic that includes a minimum of ten published works, at least half of which are based on ethnographic research in a particular place or places.
Although you should give priority to sources from anthropology journals, edited collections, or monographs, other sources may be included in your essay (e.g.: from sociology, geography, womens’ studies, social work) provided that these are based upon empirical, qualitative research.
In writing the essay, offer an account of how you chose your topic, and make a case for the importance of the thematic focus that you selected.
I want the topic to be a about the mistreatment of women in latin America, and the machismo culture we still live in.
