| book description |

The essays in this volume explore the ways rights were available to those in the margins of society. By tracing pivotal judicial concepts such as â€˜right of necessityâ€™ and â€˜subjective rightsâ€™ back to their medieval versions, and by situating them in unexpected contexts such as the Franciscansâ€™ theory of poverty and colonization or todayâ€™s immigration and border control, this volume invites its readers to consider whether individual rights were in fact, or at least in theory, available to the marginalized. By focusing not only on the economically impoverished but also those who were disenfranchised because of disability, gender, race, religion or infidelity, this book also sheds light on the relationship between the early history of individual rights and social justice at the margins. Contributors are: Wim Decock, Heikki Haara, Virpi MÃ¤kinen, Alejandra Mancilla, Julia McClure, Ilse Paakkinen, Mikko Posti, Jonathan Robinson, John Salter, Pamela Slotte, and Jussi Varkemaa.
