In Race, Rights, and Recognition, Dean J. Franco explores the work of recent Jewish American writers, many of whom have taken unpopular stances on social issues, distancing themselves from the politics and public practice of multiculturalism. While these writers explore the same themes of group-based rights and recognition that preoccupy Latino, African American, and Native American writers, they are generally suspicious of group identities and are more likely to adopt postmodern distancing techniques than to presume to speak for "their people." Ranging from Philip Roth’s scandalous 1969 novel Portnoy’s Complaint to Gary Shteyngart’s Absurdistan in 2006, the literature Franco examines in this book is at once critical of and deeply invested in the problems of race and the rise of multicultural philosophies and policies in America. Franco argues that from the formative years of multiculturalism (1965–1975), Jewish writers probed the ethics and not just the politics of civil rights and cultural recognition; this perspective arose from a stance of keen awareness of the limits and possibilities of consensus-based civil and human rights. Contemporary Jewish writers are now responding to global problems of cultural conflict and pluralism and thinking through the challenges and responsibilities of cosmopolitanism. Indeed, if the United States is now correctly—if cautiously—identifying itself as a post-ethnic nation, it may be said that Jewish writing has been well ahead of the curve in imagining what a post-ethnic future might look like and in critiquing the social conventions of race and ethnicity.

The era of technology in which we reside has ushered in a more globalized and connected world. While many benefits are gained from this connectivity, possible disadvantages to issues of human rights are developed as well. Defending Human Rights and Democracy in the Era of Globalization is a pivotal resource for the latest research on the effects of a globalized society regarding issues relating to social ethics and civil rights. Highlighting relevant concepts on political autonomy, migration, and asylum, this book is ideally designed for academicians, professionals, practitioners, and upper-level students interested in the ongoing concerns of human rights.

An emerging body of literature suggests that there is a great need to investigate the relationship between the importance individuals place on key social and economic Human Rights and their perception of the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility. The primary aim of this study is to begin to address this lacuna by understanding how individuals in Russia and Bulgaria may place different emphasis on specific aspects of Human Rights when making decisions to purchase, work, invest or support the community operations for socially responsible organisations. Russia and Bulgaria were chosen also to test the veracity of assumptions, embedded in most literature, contending that the importance of individual perceptions of Human Rights is homogeneous across Eastern and Central European countries. Our data indicate that there is a significant correlation between individuals' sensitivity towards Human Rights and the perception of the importance of CSR. Our analysis also outlines significant differences between the Russian and the Bulgarian samples with regards to the manners in which individuals rank the importance of Human Rights.
