Rights, Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised World

Rights, Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics 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.
