Rights Democracy and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics

<I>Rights Democracy and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics</I> develops a critical theory of human rights and global democracy. Ingram both develops a theory of rights and applies it to a range of concrete and timely issues such as the persistence of racism in contemporary American society; the emergence of so-called whiteness theory; the failure of identity politics; the tensions between emphases on antidiscrimination and affirmative action in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990; the great unresolved issues of workplace democracy; and the dilemmas of immigration policy for the U.S. and Europe.
