Making Me Ill: Environmental Racism And Justice As Disability, Britney Wilson
Making Me Ill: Environmental Racism And Justice As Disability, Britney Wilson
Articles & Chapters
Civil rights legal scholars and practitioners have lamented the constraints of the largely intent-based legal framework required to challenge racial discrimination and injustice. As a result, they have sought alternative methods that seemingly require less overt proof of discrimination and are more equipped to address structural harm.

The song takes the listener from the facts of the crime, through …

Rights, Remembrance And The Reconciliation Of Difference, David Engel, Frank W. Munger
Articles & Chapters
Rights in American society present a paradox-critics increasingly assert that proliferation of rights is undermining Americans' sense of community, yet scholars continue to document Americans' reluctance to assert formal legal rights. We explore the meaning of rights in American society by describing the intersection between the evolving civil rights of a previously excluded minority, culminating in the, and the personal histories of two individuals who might potentially invoke or benefit from such rights. Tracing the life stories of "Sara Lane" and 'Jill Golding" from childhood through adolescence to adulthood and employment, we relate the everyday relevance or irrelevance of law …
