Rights of Inclusion : Law and Identity in the Life Stories of Americans with Disabilities

Munger主張對權利有一個全新的理解 - 重點關注他們在日常生活中的角色，而不是正式的法律訴求。雖然所有60名受訪者都遭受過歧視，但沒有人提出正式抗議或訴訟。儘管如此，公民權利在他們的生活中起了至關重要的作用，權利改善了他們的自我形象，增強了他們的職業抱負，並改變了員工和同事的看法和假設 - 實際上產生了更加包容的體制安排。關注這些長期的生活史，Engel和Munger精闢地展示了權利和身份如何相互影響，以及這種相互作用如何最終決定ADA等法律的成功。對於任何關心權利，殘疾和法律的人來說，“包容權”應該是一項具有里程碑意義的工作。

"Rights of Inclusion" provides an innovative, accessible perspective on how civil rights legislation affects the lives of ordinary Americans. Based on eye-opening and deeply moving interviews with intended beneficiaries of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), David M. Engel and Frank W.

Munger argue for a radically new understanding of rights - one that focuses on their role in everyday lives rather than in formal legal claims. Although all 60 interviewees had experienced discrimination, none had filed a formal protest or lawsuit. Nevertheless, civil rights played a crucial role in their lives.

Rights improved their self-image, enhanced their career aspirations and altered the perceptions and assumptions of their employees and coworkers - in effect producing more inclusive institutional arrangements. Focusing on these long-term life histories, Engel and Munger incisively show how rights and identity affect one another over time and how that interaction ultimately determines the success of laws such as the ADA. For anyone concerned with rights, disability and the law, "Rights of Inclusion" should be a landmark work.
