Abstract
A few years ago William Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International USA, was describing current human rights crises around the world for Knoxville's National Public Radio station. The talk show host asked him: "But what does all of this have to do with a person in East Tennessee?" 1 This was the first time this sort of question had ever been posed to Schulz, and it inspired his new book, In Our Own Best Interest: How Defending Human Rights Benefits Us All. Meant as a guide for those who ask--or are asked--"why should we care?" it marks the first time a human rights advocate has so publicly struggled with the lack of a U.S. domestic constituency for human rights.
