Rightlessness

Viac o knihe

The book examines the history of U.S. prison camps that strip detainees of legal and civil rights, rendering them effectively rightless. It highlights a paradox in which the U.S. claims to uphold inalienable rights while simultaneously establishing a system that marginalizes certain populations perceived as threats. This exploration reveals how America's identity as a protector of rights is intertwined with its practices of imprisonment, illustrating the complexities of power and rights in a global context.
