商品簡介
Drawing on narratives of individuals in a variety of civil rights crises, the essays in this collection offer contextualized understandings of what happens when the law interacts with competing systems of social organization. The articles are divided into sections on rights in practice, contested rights, and the future of rights research. The contributors, who are scholars from universities around the world, address such topics as Title IX coordinators; employees' views of sexual harassment grievance procedures; and France's 35-hour workweek laws. Fleury-Steiner (U. of Delaware) and Nielsen (Northwestern U. and the American Bar Foundation) introduce the articles by defining the terms and concerns of the constitutive perspective of rights.
