Social Problems: A Human Rights Perspective, Second Edition
evaluates U.S. society through an international human rights
framework. The book provides a critical discussion about what
rights mean, along with a sociological exploration of power and
inequality to explain why human rights are so often violated or
left ignored and unfulfilled in the United States. In each chapter,
the book offers numerous policy alternatives that could provide a
pathway toward the increased fulfillment of rights, while also
stressing the important role that nonviolent social movements have
had, and must have in the future, in achieving greater justice,
dignity, wellbeing, and environmental protection in our society.
This edition includes several new chapters on topics of major
interest to students, including: the human right to health climate
change and human rights immigration and human rights violations in
U.S. society a new discussion of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Social Problems gives social science students a new way to
understand pressing social issues that exist in their own
communities.
