Book Synopsis
The subject of rights occupies a central place in liberal political thought. This tradition posits that rights are entitlements of individuals by virtue of their personhood and that rights stand apart from politics. These essays question these assumptions and examine how rights constitute us as subjects and are implicated in political struggles.
