"A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life--her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art."--

This collection of archaeological essays, the third volume in the Amerind Foundation New World Studies Series, examines sociopolitical developments in the prehistoric American Southeast and Southwest, two regions rarely discussed together. The contributors compare change in great towns, regional polities, and macroregions, document the diversity of intermediate-level societies, and search for underlying commonalities in diverse sites such as Snaketown, Pueblo Bonito, and Galaz in the Southwest and Moundville, Kincaid, and Macon Plateau in the Southeast. The chapters are presented in pairs, one dealing with the Southeast and one with the Southwest, and are ordered by successively larger spatial scales.

Rights are basic building blocks of the contemporary liberal state, and yet their rigorous justification is notoriously difficult. This book provides a thorough analysis of this central topic in modern political discourse. The book challenges the orthodox view that rights are a type of property claim in one's body. Drawing on the tradition of the social contract as well as the wealth of recent work in political theory the book argues for a different conception of rights. Rights are conceived as a certain type of political claim, justified by a Kantian ideal of autonomy. Moreover, that justification provides a moral basis for rights that, while independent of law and custom, is also tied to an image of citizenship particularly suited to the pluralistic nature of contemporary liberal society.
