Indeed, rights have become the trump card in every argument. Long-standing fights for aboriginal rights, the issue of preserving the linguistic heritage of minorities, and same-sex marriage have steered our society into a full-blown rights revolution. This revolution is not only deeply controversial in North America, but is being watched around the world. Are group rights jeopardizing individual rights? When everyone asserts their rights, what happens to responsibilities? Can families survive and prosper when each member has rights? Is rights language empowering individuals while weakening community?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMichael Ignatieff confronts these controversial questions head-on in \u003cem\u003eThe Rights Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e, defending the supposed individualism of rights language against all comers. For Ignatieff, believing in rights means believing in politics, believing in deliberation rather than confrontation, compromise rather than violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Ignatieff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887847625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887847622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.10w x 0.49d","brand":"Michael Ignatieff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926769795327,"sku":"9780887847622","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_57e12455-3d50-4c6e-acc7-9d3669ad1def.jpg?v=1681084911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rights-revolution-michael-ignatieff-9780887847622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
