“包容的权利”提供了一个创新的,可访问的角度如何民权立法影响普通美国人的生活。基于对《美国残疾人法案》(ADA)预期受益人的大开眼界和深刻感人的采访,大卫M。作者声明:Frank W.芒格主张对权利有一种全新的理解--关注权利在日常生活中的作用,而不是在正式的法律的主张中的作用。虽然所有60名受访者都经历过歧视,但没有人提出正式抗议或诉讼。然而,公民权利在他们的生活中发挥了至关重要的作用。权利改善了他们的自我形象,增强了他们的职业抱负,改变了他们的雇员和同事的看法和假设-实际上产生了更具包容性的体制安排。恩格尔和芒格关注这些长期的生活史,深刻地展示了权利和身份如何随着时间的推移而相互影响,以及这种相互作用如何最终决定《美国残疾人法》等法律的成功。对于任何关心权利、残疾和法律的人来说,《包容的权利》应该是一部里程碑式的作品。
"Rights of Inclusion" provides an innovative, accessible perspective on how civil rights legislation affects the lives of ordinary Americans. Based on eye-opening and deeply moving interviews with intended beneficiaries of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), David M. Engel and Frank W. Munger argue for a radically new understanding of rights - one that focuses on their role in everyday lives rather than in formal legal claims. Although all 60 interviewees had experienced discrimination, none had filed a formal protest or lawsuit. Nevertheless, civil rights played a crucial role in their lives. Rights improved their self-image, enhanced their career aspirations and altered the perceptions and assumptions of their employees and coworkers - in effect producing more inclusive institutional arrangements. Focusing on these long-term life histories, Engel and Munger incisively show how rights and identity affect one another over time and how that interaction ultimately determines the success of laws such as the ADA. For anyone concerned with rights, disability and the law, "Rights of Inclusion" should be a landmark work.
