"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.
