Sommario/riassunto

"Does recognition of the basic human right to subsistence imply that the needy are morally permitted to take and use other people's property to escape their plight? Should we respect the exercise of this right of necessity in a variety of scenarios - from street pickpocketing and petty theft to illegal squatting and encamping? In this concise and accessible book, Alejandra Mancilla addresses these complex and controversial moral questions. The [book] presents a historical account of the concept of the right of necessity-from the medieval writings of Christian canonists and theologians to seventeenth century natural law theory. Mancilla goes on to ground this right in a minimal conception of basic human rights, and she proposes some necessary and jointly sufficient conditions for its exercise. She confronts the main objections that may be posed against this principle and ultimately concludes that



the exercise of this right should be considered as a trigger to secure a minimum threshold of welfare provisions for everyone, everywhere."--Back cover.

Sommario/riassunto

"This collection of interviews with and by Suzan-Lori Parks offers unprecedented insight into her work, method and dramaturgy, as well as being an important commentary on contemporary theater and playwriting, from jazz and opera to politics and cultural memory. Suzan-Lori Parks in Person contains 18 interviews, some previously untranscribed or specially undertaken for this book, as well as commentaries on her work by major directors and critics, including Liz Diamond, Richard Foreman and Leah Gardiner. These contributions combine to honor the first African American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize in drama, and explore her ideas about theater, history, race, and gender. Material from a wide range of sources chronologically charts Parks' career from the 1990s to the present. This is a major collection with immediate relevance to students of American/African-American theater, literature and culture. Parks' engaging voice is brought to the fore throughout, making the book essential for undergraduates as well as scholars"--
