"Human Rights after Corporate Personhood offers a rich overviewof current debates, andseeks to transcend the ""outrage response"" often found inpublic discourse and corporate legal theory. Through originaland innovative analyses, the volume offers an alternativeaccount of corporate juridical personality and its relation tothe human, one that departs from accounts offered by publiclaw. In addition, it explores opportunities for the applicationof legal personality to assist progressive projects, including,but not limited to, environmental justice, animal rights, andIndigenous land claims.

Presented accessibly for the benefit of non-specialistreaders, the volume offers original arguments and draws oneclectic sources, from law and poetry to fiction and film. Atthe same time, it is firmly grounded in legal scholarship and,thus, serves as an essential reference for scholars, students,lawmakers, and anyone seeking a better understanding of theinterface between corporations and the law in the twenty-first century."

Reviews for Human Rights after Corporate Personhood

""" 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. 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"
