This book addresses key issues in the historical struggle for civil
rights, political rights, and social rights in the United States
and Germany from the late nineteenth century to the present. The
essays address issues such as the struggle for the rights of women
and minorities (including African Americans, Jews, and Asians),
National Socialism and the dismantling of civil rights, and the
emergence of the concept of social rights. What becomes clear are
the unique features that distinguish German from American history
and that these differences have been created by both social
movements and dissimilar cultures of rights.
