Greene and Youssef make the reader think about the relationship between corporate personhood and real, or human, personhood, at times arguing that, after all, real personhood is a bit of a legal fiction too. The scholarship found in this collection is sound and careful, marking a major contribution to research and an important intervention in current debates.""--Vincent P. Pecora, Department of English, University of Utah ""This volume is a breath of fresh air. It devotes careful, critical thought to topics that all too often are defined by easy denunciation, routinized lamentation, and dogmatic affirmation. The essays collected here are consistently original, rigorous, intricate, and lively, and they are joined together by Greene and Youssef's superbly comprehensive introduction. Readers of all stripes will find in this book sharp insights into questions that today are of increasingly burning concern.""--Adam Sitze, Department of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought, Amherst College" """ Human Rights after Corporate Personhood is a fine collection of essays devoted - though not exclusively - to two basic issues troubling contemporary liberal society: the meaning of the corporation as a legal individual and the legally unstable idea of human rights.
