Description

Product Description Human rights can be defined as the basic fundamental rights inherent to all human beings in any society. How these rights are made available and protected in individual countries is an area of much study and debate. Focusing on the significance of human rights in American law and politics, this book seeks to understand when, where, and how American law recognizes and responds to claims made in the name of human rights. How are they used by social movements as they advance rights claims? When are human rights claims accommodated and resisted? Do particular kinds of human rights claims have greater resonance domestically than others? What cultural and psychological factors impede the development of a human rights culture in the United States? This is an exciting and engaging volume that will appeal to a broad range of scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the study of human rights. Review 'This book incorporates work from scholars and practitioners, each of which make nuanced and bold arguments that are likely to be challenged by other academics. However, this is certainly a good thing. It will spark debates on the importance of human rights, which is imperative if progress is to be made on the domestic acceptance of international human rights in the US.' Alice Storey, Human Rights Law Review Book Description Analysis of when, where, and how American law recognizes and responds to claims made in the name of human rights.
