This is Not Civil Rights: Discovering Rights Talk in 1939 America (Chicago Series in Law and Society)

by George Lovell (Author)

Synopsis

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.
