In Search of a Better World, A Human Rights Odyssey

Payam Akhavan

A powerful book of memoir, history, and a call to action, by internationally renowned human rights lawyer and scholar, Payam Akhavan, translated and published in Persian. Akhavan confronts some of the darkest atrocities of our time — from the persecution of Bahá’ís in Iran to ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia, and genocide in Rwanda, while celebrating the enduring resilience and interdependence that can give us hope.
