Rights Talk: The Impoverishment Of Political DiscourseSimon and Schuster, 30 juin 2008 - 242 pages Political speech in the United States is undergoing a crisis. Glendon's acclaimed book traces the evolution of the strident language of rights in America and shows how it has captured the nation's devotion to individualism and liberty, but omitted the American traditions of hospitality and care for the community. |
