Libro This is not Civil Rights - Discovering Rights Talk in 1939 America di George I. Lovell
Trama libro
Since at least the time of Tocqueville, observers have noted that Americans draw on the language of rights when expressing dissatisfaction with political and social conditions. Drawing on a remarkable cache of Depression-era complaint letters written by ordinary Americans to the Justice Department, the author challenges these common claims.
