It is well known that the scope of individual rights has expanded
dramatically in the United States over the last half-century. Less
well known is that other countries have experienced "rights
revolutions" as well. Charles R. Epp argues that, far from being
the fruit of an activist judiciary, the ascendancy of civil rights
and liberties has rested on the democratization of access to the
courts--the influence of advocacy groups, the establishment of
governmental enforcement agencies, the growth of financial and
legal resources for ordinary citizens, and the strategic planning
of grass roots organizations. In other words, the shift in the
rights of individuals is best understood as a "bottom up," rather
than a "top down," phenomenon.
"The Rights Revolution" is the first comprehensive and comparative
analysis of the growth of civil rights, examining the high courts
of the United States, Britain, Canada, and India within their
specific constitutional and cultural contexts. It brilliantly
revises our understanding of the relationship between courts and
social change.
