About the work
About the work. Human Rights in the United States (9781107400870) provides a clear, critical examination of how rights are protected, contested, and lived within American institutions and everyday life. It traverses historical milestones, legal frameworks, and social movements to illuminate the promises and limits of rights in practice.
Summary
Drawing on case studies, policy analysis, and comparative perspectives, the work traces the evolution of civil, political, and human rights in the United States, highlighting the tension between constitutional guarantees and real-world disparities. It investigates the roles of government, courts, civil society, and marginalized communities in shaping the protection and denial of rights across race, gender, immigration, policing, and economic justice. The narrative intertwines theoretical insights with contemporary events to reveal how rights are negotiated, expanded, or curtailed in shifting political landscapes.
About the authors
Shareen Hertel and Kathryn Libal bring interdisciplinary expertise to the study of rights, labor, and social justice, combining rigorous analysis with grounded advocacy. Hertel, a scholar of labor and employment policy, investigates how work structures, inequality, and public policy affect rights realization. Libal, a renowned expert in nonprofit administration, human rights advocacy, and community organizing, emphasizes practical pathways for advancing rights through civil society and reform movements.
In brief
This book offers a thorough, accessible exploration of how human rights are defined, implemented, and contested in the United States, inviting readers to consider both systemic protections and persistent gaps in real-world practice.
