Table of ContentsReviews<br> Making Rights Claims is a very important book, exploring as it does the paradoxical position of rights as both a 'global language of political reform' and a frequent target of criticism. Adopting a constitutive perspective on rights, Zivi's book is an interdisciplinary tour de force. It is one of the most important treatments of rights to come along in a long time. <br>--Austin Sarat, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Science, Amherst College<p><br> In this stellar book, Karen Zivi realigns the theorization of rights with 'agonistic' theories of democracy that have put traditional liberalisms under scrutiny. Using Judith Butler's concept of 'performativity' she takes issue with Wendy Brown's critique of 'rights-politics, ' writing in very clear language and deploying intriguing and controversial case studies. Unusually, Zivi starts the story with a pertinent and easy-to-read survey of the analytical tradition of rights-analysis begun in the 1960s.
