In the decades following, Canadian jurisprudence has emphasised the importance of rights, determining their shape and asserting their centrality to legal ideas about what Canada represents. At the same time, an increasing number of Canadian novels have also engaged with the language of human rights and civil liberties, reflecting, like their counterparts in law, the possibilities of rights and the failure of their protection. In A Culture of Rights, Benjamin Authers reads novels by authors including Joy Kogawa, Margaret Atwood, Timothy Findley, and Jeanette Armstrong alongside legal texts and key constitutional rights cases, arguing for the need for a more complex, interdisciplinary understanding of the sources of rights in Canada and elsewhere. He suggests that, at present, even when rights are violated, popular insistence on Canada's rights-driven society remains. Despite the limited scope of our rights, and the deferral of more substantive rights protections to some projected, ideal Canada, we remain keen to promote ourselves as members of an entirely just society."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Canada. $t Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92120481 630 07 $a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Canada) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01367284 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Canada. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008101031 650 0 $a Legal literature $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Jurisprudence $z Canada. 650 0 $a Minorities $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Canadian fiction $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009118212 650 0 $a Law and literature $z Canada. 650 0 $a Law in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85075309 650 0 $a Human rights in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94004716 650 0 $a Civil rights in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94003761 650 0 $a Politics in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85104473 651 0 $a Canada $x In literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114565 650 5 $a Canadian literature (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Civil rights in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862707 650 7 $a Human rights in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963350 650 7 $a Law and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993913 650 7 $a Law in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994014 650 7 $a Legal literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995504 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Politics in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896084 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020021302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4D84E64019E11E89C78220097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
