ENDORSEMENTS:
Civil Rights by Andrew Altman breaks new ground on important questions about rights in modern society. After providing an account of civil rights’ connections to human, moral, natural, and legal rights, Altman looks unflinchingly at the history of several civil rights movements, focusing particularly on political struggles of Black Americans and European Jews. Civil Rights dramatically illustrates the treacherous see-saw of legal reform’s gains and losses, hard-won successes and heartbreaking defeats, where certain civil rights have been denied, then legally established, later rescinded by judicial rulings and convention, later still recognized, again diminished, and so forth. Altman raises a suggestion that this relentless back and forth, gaining, then losing political recognition, may be endemic to legal reform itself, thus limiting its ability to ensure civil rights. Is this what inspires Altman to make the provocative yet promising claim that there are two senses of civil rights, and that “In a crucial sense, the rights with which we are concerned in this book cannot be granted or revoked, but they can be recognized, protected, or violated”? Read this tantalizing sometimes chilling yet user-friendly Civil Rights guide to find out. Sandra Dwyer, Principal Senior Lecturer, Department of Philosophy, Georgia State University.This book, written by one of the world's leading authorities on civil rights, contains important original insights of value to scholars working in the area while remaining accessible to students and interested members of the general public. Civil Rights: A Quick Immersion sets the standard for scholarship on this important subject. Christopher Heath Wellman, Professor of Philosophy and Dean of Academic Planning, Washington University-St. Louis.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
