The language of international human rights promises universality, yet the lived realities of the marginalized reveal a different truth: persistent exclusion, systemic violence, and historical erasure.
 
Unequal Earth: Human Rights at the Crossroads of Race, Gender and Territory boldly confronts these contradictions. Bringing together a diverse, interdisciplinary cohort of contributors, this edited volume interrogates the colonial legacies embedded in modern legal frameworks and challenges the destructive forces of racial capitalism, neoliberal globalization, and state-sanctioned displacement.
 
Organized around six vital thematic clusters—spanning decolonial frameworks, territory and sovereignty, structural violence, and body politics—this book moves beyond mere critique. It recovers the testimonies, oral histories, and cultural practices that embody active resistance and resilience.
 
By reframing justice not as a singular, universal project but as a pluriversal endeavor, Unequal Earth honors difference, memory, and solidarity. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, activists, and policymakers committed to dismantling systemic oppression and envisioning equitable, sustainable futures.
