But can they combat the whole spectrum of social injustice---including conditions that aren't directly caused by bigotry? In \u003ci\u003eRights Gone Wrong\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Thompson Ford argues that extremists on both sides of the political divide have hijacked civil rights for personal advantage, diverting our attention from serious social injustices. Is equality really served by endless litigating and legislating against every grievance or slight? Brilliantly argued, shrewd, and lively, \u003ci\u003eRights Gone Wrong\u003c\/i\u003e offers a crisp analysis of the limits of our civil rights laws and a prescription for how to move beyond them (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Thompson Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250013925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250013927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.67w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/25\/2012 pg. 32","brand":"Richard Thompson Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122351206655,"sku":"9781250013927","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e09896-b851-4026-a353-5c0596619339.jpg?v=1687424619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rights-gone-wrong-richard-thompson-ford-9781250013927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
