This book brings to light emerging evidence of a shift toward a
fuller engagement with international human rights norms and their
application to domestic policy dilemmas in the United States. The
volume offers a rich history, spanning close to three centuries, of
the marginalization of human rights discourse in the United States.
Contributors analyze particular cases of U.S. human rights advocacy
aimed at addressing persistent inequalities within the United
States itself, including advocacy on the rights of persons with
disabilities; indigenous peoples; lone mother-headed families;
incarcerated persons; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered
people; and those displaced by natural disasters, most notably
Hurricane Katrina. The book also explores key arenas in which legal
scholars, policy practitioners, and grassroots activists are
challenging multiple divides between public and private spheres
(for example, in connection with children's rights and domestic
violence) and between public and private sectors (specifically, in
relation to healthcare and business and human rights).
