This important volume examines rights from an inter-disciplinary
law and society perspective, beginning with the premise that the
most basic functions of rights requires the empirical study of
rights consciousness and claiming behavior. As such the volume
includes articles and essays by political scientists, historians,
lawyers, and sociologists which place the study of ordinary
citizens' understandings of rights, and what actions they take
based on that knowledge, at the forefront of an empirical research
agenda. This has important implications for law's capacity to
achieve social change and can lead to better understanding of how
rights can and should operate in a social and legal system. The
volume is organized around the social movements and political
processes which give rise to rights, the processes by which people
come to understand they enjoy a right, the decision to invoke the
right either formally or informally, and the organizational and
institutional constraints and opportunities for exercising rights.
