“Challenging U.S. Human Rights Violations Since 9/11”
Testimonials for the Book
"This report is a veritable roadmap to the countless ways in which the Bush Administration has used lies and the politics of fear to assault the Bill of Rights, trash human rights, and launch a phony 'War on Terror.' It is equally thorough, gripping, and frightening, but demands to be read by every concerned citizen. Aroused voters, not timid politicians, have always been the ones to set America back on course. This is both their call to arms and a loud alarm for the United Nations." —John Conyers, Jr. Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee, US House of Representatives
"This compendium is important in multiple ways. It extensively documents abuses that merit the careful attention of citizens concerned with freedom, human rights, and democracy. It reviews the documentary and legal basis essential for confronting these crucial issues. And it provides concrete suggestions about actions that can be taken to preserve and extend the legacy of rights that have been won over centuries of struggle. These contributions are of great value to concerned citizens." —Noam Chomsky Institute Professor, MIT; author of Hegemony or Survival
"This is an immensely valuable book for all Americans concerned about their constitutional rights in the midst of a supposed 'War on Terrorism.' Ann Fagan Ginger has pulled together a shocking compendium of human rights violations, and at the same time has given us practical tools, legal and political, for defending our liberties." —Howard Zinn Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Boston University; author of A People's History of the United States
"Ann Ginger has a clear sense of history, and her work has showed us how the struggle for justice must be waged today, while appreciating the insights and contributions of those who have struggled in the past. She also has a clear sense that the struggle for justice is a people's struggle that, while aided at crucial times by lawyers, is advanced only by an organized movement for change. This book is the most valuable possible contribution to the people's struggle for justice at the present historical moment, for it puts the struggle here and now into the context of a worldwide outcry for human rights." —Michael E. Tigar Research Professor of Law, Washington College of Law; human rights lawyer; author of Fighting Injustice
"We owe Ann Fagan Ginger a tremendous debt of gratitude for painstakingly compiling, in a single volume, a wealth of tools and resources for political activists. As the 'War on Terrorism' morphs into a war on civil liberties and human rights, Ann's call to action could not be more timely or more necessary." —Nancy Chang Senior Litigation Attorney, Center for Constitutional Rights
