On their way to jail, to deportation from the country, or to expulsion from school, those who confront the muscle of the state frequently see their rights bruised, their liberties wounded. This book is about some of those people. Therefore, it is about all of us.
This book, "Rights at Risk: The Limits of Liberty in Modern America" by David K. Shipler, explores the experiences of individuals who find themselves at the mercy of state power, whether due to incarceration, deportation, or expulsion from educational institutions. It highlights how these encounters can lead to violations of their rights and freedoms, painting a vivid picture of the struggles faced by the marginalized in society.
