All of us are entitled to the protections of law against violence,
to a high quality education, to decent employment that respects our
dignity, and to necessary assistance with our caregiving. Our civil
rights are our rights to the protections of ordinary law - not
constitutional law, and not only antidiscrimination law - that will
ensure that we can participate in civil society, and hence lead
flourishing lives. In this innovative work, Robin L. West looks
back to nineteenth-century Civil Rights Acts to argue that the
point of civil rights law is not only non-discrimination, but also
to assure that all of us receive the protection of legal rights
that promote human flourishing. Since the 1960s, Supreme Court
decisions on civil rights issues have focused on non-discrimination
and thus have 'hollowed out' this broader meaning of civil rights
law. This book reconceives civil rights as a set of legal
guarantees that all will be included in the legal, political,
economic and social projects central to civil society.
