Conventional wisdom assigns this responsibility to the courts, on the grounds that liberty can only be protected through judicial interpretation of bills of rights. In fact it is difficult for many people even to conceive of any other way that rights might be protected. John Dinan challenges this understanding by tracing and evaluating the different methods that have been used to protect rights in the United States from the founding until the present era.By examining legislative statutes, judicial decisions, convention proceedings, and popular initiatives in four representative states?Massachusetts, Virginia, Michigan, and Oregon?Dinan shows that rights have been secured in the American polity in three principal ways. Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, rights were protected primarily through representative institutions. Then in the early twentieth century, citizens began to turn to direct democratic institutions to secure their rights. It was not until the midtwentieth century that judges came to be seen as the chief protectors of liberties.By analyzing the relative ability of legislators, citizens, and judges to serve as guardians of rights, Dinan's study demonstrates that each is capable of securing certain rights in certain situations. Elected representatives are generally capable of protecting most rights, but popular initiatives provide an effective mechanism for securing rights in the face of legislative intransigence, and judicial decisions offer a superior means of protecting liberties in crisis times. Accordingly, rather than viewing rights protection as the peculiar province of any single institution, this task ought to be considered the proper responsibility of all these institutions.By undertaking a comparison of these institutional methods across such a wide expanse of time, Keeping the People's Liberties makes a highly original contribution to the literature on rights protection and provides a new perspective on debates about the contemporary role of representative, populist, and judicial institutions. 606 $aPolitique et gouvernement$zE?tats-Unis$xE?tats$2ram 606 $aPouvoir legislatif$zE?tats-Unis$2ram 606 $aPouvoir judiciaire$zE?tats-Unis$2ram 606 $aDroits civils et politiques$zE?tats-Unis$2ram 606 $aPouvoir constituant$zE?tats-Unis$2ram 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aLegislative power$xU.S. states$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00995821 606 $aJudicial power$xU.S. states$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00984702 606 $aConstituent power$xU.S. states$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00875752 606 $aCivil rights$xU.S. states$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862695 606 $aCivil rights$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862627 606 $aConstituent power$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aLegislative power$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aJudicial power$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitique et gouvernement$xE?tats. 615 0$aPouvoir legislatif 615 0$aPouvoir judiciaire 615 0$aDroits civils et politiques 615 0$aPouvoir constituant 615 0$aPolitics and government. 615 0$aLegislative power$xU.S. states. 615 0$aJudicial power$xU.S. states. 615 0$aConstituent power$xU.S. states. 615 0$aCivil rights$xU.S. states. 615 0$aCivil rights. 615 0$aConstituent power$xStates. 615 0$aLegislative power$xStates. 615 0$aJudicial power$xStates. 615 0$aCivil rights$xStates. 615 0$aCivil rights 700 $aDinan$b John J.$4aut$01024659 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482013003321 996 $aKeeping the People's Liberties$92435491 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04149oam 2200709I 450 001 9910149376703321 005 20240501153623.0 010 $a1-317-23531-2 010 $a1-315-62653-5 010 $a1-317-23532-0 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315626536 035 $a(CKB)3710000000933655 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4732386 035 $a(OCoLC)962303325 035 $a(BIP)63361990 035 $a(BIP)55778933 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000933655 100 $a20180706d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe cultural politics of chick lit $epopular fiction, postfeminism and representation /$fHeike Missler 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (232 pages) 225 1 $aRoutledge Studies in Contemporary Literature ;$v18 311 08$a1-138-64824-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $apt. I. Contexts -- pt. II. Texts. 330 $aChick lit is the marketing label attributed to a surge of books published in the wake of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) and Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City (1997). Branded by their pink or pastel-coloured book covers, chick-lit novels have been a highly successful and ubiquitous product of women's popular culture since the late 1990s. This study traces the evolution of chick lit not only as a genre of popular fiction, but as a cultural phenomenon. It complicates the genealogy of the texts by situating them firmly in the context of age-old debates about female literary creation, and by highlighting the dynamics of the popular-fiction market. Offering a convincing dissection of the formula which lies at the heart of chick lit, as well as in-depth analyses of a number of chick-lit titles ranging from classic to more recent and edgier texts, this book yields new insights into a relatively young field of academic study. Its close readings provide astute assessments of chick lit's notoriously skewed representational politics, especially with regard to sexuality and ethnicity, which feed into current discussions about postfeminism. Moreover, the study makes a unique contribution to the scholarly debate of chick lit by including an analysis of the (online) fan communities the genre has fostered. The Cultural Politics of Chick Lit weaves a sound methodological network, drawing on reader-response criticism; feminist, gender, and queer theory; affect studies; and whiteness studies. This book is an accessible and engaging study for anyone interested in postfeminism and popular culture. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in contemporary literature ;$v18. 606 $aChick lit, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChick lit, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen$xBooks and reading$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWomen$xBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSingle women in literature 606 $aYoung women in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aChick lit, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChick lit, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen$xBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aSingle women in literature. 615 0$aYoung women in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a813/.6099287 700 $aMissler$b Heike.$0952214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149376703321 996 $aThe cultural politics of chick lit$92152645 997 $aUNINA
