But can they combat the whole spectrum of social injustice---including conditions that aren't directly caused by bigotry? In \u003ci\u003eRights Gone Wrong\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Thompson Ford argues that extremists on both sides of the political divide have hijacked civil rights for personal advantage, diverting our attention from serious social injustices. Is equality really served by endless litigating and legislating against every grievance or slight? Brilliantly argued, shrewd, and lively, \u003ci\u003eRights Gone Wrong\u003c\/i\u003e offers a crisp analysis of the limits of our civil rights laws and a prescription for how to move beyond them (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Thompson Ford\u003c\/b\u003e is the George E.
