Description

The most dramatic change in American society in the last 40 years has been the explosive growth of personal rights. This "rights revolution" is under attack by both mainstream conservatives and intellectual liberals as undermining traditional values of community. In replying to the critics, Samuel Walker details the history of the rise of rights in American society, from the birth of the civil rights movement to today, and provides a spirited defence of its success in actually enlarging and enriching our sense of community in the USA.
