Here five leading thinkers from varied disciplines--including history, law, politics, and literary studies--discuss the critical basis of rights and the meaning of radical democratic politics today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie DeGooyer\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of English at Willamette University and Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Harvard University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlastair Hunt\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English at Portland State University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e Lida Maxwell\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Politics at Boston University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e Samuel Moyn\u003c\/b\u003e is Henry R.
