While the greatest thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment--Voltaire, Rousseau, Jefferson--espoused progress through rationality, ethics, and democracy, much of the world still remains mired in dark-age traditions of superstition, cruelty, and tyranny. Nowhere is this divide more keenly demarcated than in the issue of torture, captured here in graphic documentary footage for a chilling expos? of the forces that rob people of their humanity.

Human rights in Red China has long been a stick that the US political left and right have used to beat each other with whenever possible, and China's turn to capitalism has not hampered the practice. Here excerpts from reports by the Congressional Research Service in 2006 and 2008 respond to requests by legislators for information regarding trends of human rights in China and their policy implications, Internet development and information control, and Falun Gong. Also included is the transcript of a hearing before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China in September 2006 on human rights and the rule of law.

There is a remarkable paucity of pictorial material to draw on when discussing human rights and the way they are respected or infringed, yet we are deluged everyday in every medium with images that openly show violence. The result is a surfeit of cynicism. The Face of Human Rights presents no such exotic cruelty; rather, the photographs it gathers together capture injustice and evoke real feelings, inviting the reader to participate in an emotionally and intellectually sincere manner. Images of normality in a peaceful world complete the picture and, though they risk losing the reader too tuned into spectacle, they are worth the risk. The Face of Human Rights takes a novel approach to a critical topic, interspersing a visual interpretation of individual legal aspects with textual collages from historical and current human rights discussions. It offers facts and figures, and acknowledges the efforts governmental and non-governmental organizations are making to defend human rights and stamp out their infringement.
