Citizen Rights, Migrant Rights and Civic Stratification
This book explores the concept of civic stratification and examines its contemporary relevance for analysis and understanding of the functioning of rights in society. David Lockwood’s (1996) concept of civic stratification outlines the way in which the rights associated with citizenship can be a source of inequality by virtue of their formal granting or denial by the state, or by informal impediments to their full realisation.The purpose of this book is to explore the meaning and significance of this concept, and elaborate its potential in offering a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of rights.Lockwood’s model reverses Marshall’s (1950) view of citizenship as guaranteed inclusion in society and is linked to the way that the differential entitlement and the qualifying conditions associated with certain rights can be harnessed as a means of control.While both Marshall and Lockwood were principally concerned with the rights attaching to citizenship, this book extends the insights of these two authors to show how such controls apply in various ways to both citizens and non-citizens alike.Building on Lockwood’s conception of ‘moral resources’ the book set out a theoretical framework and empirical illustration of how the position of different groups within society is subject to shifting perceptions of social worth and is engaged both in claims to fuller access to rights and in justifications of their denial or removal. This book will appeal to scholars and higher-level students with relevant interests in sociolegal studies, sociology, social policy and politics.

How do fundamental rights differ from human rights?
Fundamental rights are specific rights that are recognized and protected by a country's constitution or laws, and they are typically enforceable through legal means within that country. On the other hand, human rights are universal rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, and they are often recognized and protected by international agreements and treaties. While fundamental rights are specific to the legal framework of a particular country, human rights are considered to be universal and apply to all individuals worldwide. Additionally, fundamental rights may vary from country to country, while human rights are meant to be consistent and applicable to everyone.

Are rights cruel?
Rights themselves are not inherently cruel. In fact, they are designed to protect individuals from cruelty and ensure their well-being. However, the way in which rights are upheld or violated by individuals or institutions can certainly be cruel. When rights are denied or abused, it can lead to suffering and injustice. Therefore, the concept of rights is not cruel, but the actions of those who violate or ignore them can be.

Cultural Heritage in Transit : Intangible Rights as Human Rights
Are human rights universal? The immediate response is "yes, of course." However, that simple affirmation assumes agreement about definitions of the "human" as well as what a human is entitled to under law, bringing us quickly to concepts such as freedom, property, and the inalienability of both.The assumption that we all mean the same things by these terms carries much political import, especially given that different communities (national, ethnic, religious, gendered) enact some of the most basic categories of human experience (self, home, freedom, sovereignty) differently.But whereas legal definitions often seek to eliminate ambiguity in order to define and protect the rights of humanity, ambiguity is in fact inherently human, especially in performances of heritage where the rights to sense, to imagine, and to claim cultural identities that resist circumscription are at play. Cultural Heritage in Transit examines the intangibilities of human rights in the realm of heritage production, focusing not only on the ephemeral culture of those who perform it but also on the ambiguities present in the idea of cultural property in general—who claims it? who may use it? who should not but does? In this volume, folklorists, ethnologists, and anthropologists analyze the practice and performance of culture in particular contexts—including Roma wedding music, Trinidadian wining, Moroccan verbal art, and Neopagan rituals—in order to draw apart the social, political, and aesthetic materialities of heritage production, including inequities and hierarchies that did not exist before.The authors collectively craft theoretical frameworks to make sense of the ways the rights of nations interact with the rights of individuals and communities when the public value of artistic creations is constituted through international law. Contributors: Valdimar Tr. Hafstein, Deborah Kapchan, Barbro Klein, Sabina Magliocco, Dorothy Noyes, Philip W.Scher, Carol Silverman.

Freedom Rights : New Perspectives on the Civil Rights Movement
In his seminal article "Freedom Then, Freedom Now," renowned civil rights historian Steven F.Lawson described his vision for the future study of the civil rights movement.Lawson called for a deeper examination of the social, economic, and political factors that influenced the movement's development and growth.He urged his fellow scholars to connect the "local with the national, the political with the social," and to investigate the ideological origins of the civil rights movement, its internal dynamics, the role of women, and the significance of gender and sexuality. In Freedom Rights: New Perspectives on the Civil Rights Movement, editors Danielle L.McGuire and John Dittmer follow Lawson's example, bringing together the best new scholarship on the modern civil rights movement.The work expands our understanding of the movement by engaging issues of local and national politics, gender and race relations, family, community, and sexuality.The volume addresses cultural, legal, and social developments and also investigates the roots of the movement.Each essay highlights important moments in the history of the struggle, from the impact of the Young Women's Christian Association on integration to the use of the arts as a form of activism. Freedom Rights not only answers Lawson's call for a more dynamic, interactive history of the civil rights movement, but it also helps redefine the field.

What is the difference between human rights and civil rights?
Human rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, nationality, gender, religion, or any other status. They include the right to life, liberty, and security, as well as freedom from discrimination, torture, and slavery. Civil rights, on the other hand, are rights that are granted to individuals within a specific country or jurisdiction. They often focus on issues of equality and non-discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, and education. While human rights are universal and apply to all people, civil rights are specific to the laws and regulations of a particular society.

There is a strong correlation between women's rights and LGBTQ rights as both movements advocate for equality, freedom, and protection from discrimination. Both groups have historically faced similar challenges and have worked together to fight for their rights. Many of the issues they face, such as gender-based violence and discrimination, intersect and impact both women and LGBTQ individuals.

What is the difference between civil rights and human rights?
Civil rights are rights that are granted by a specific government to its citizens, typically focusing on issues of equality and non-discrimination within that particular society. Human rights, on the other hand, are rights that are considered universal and inherent to all individuals, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Human rights are protected by international law and are meant to ensure that all people are treated with dignity and respect. While civil rights are specific to a particular country or region, human rights are meant to apply to all individuals worldwide.
