Abstract
In the conclusion, I clarify that my effort in this book has not been to reject the good that is accomplished through much rights work. Instead, I have encouraged a thorough reexamination of rights language and its impact on such work. I suggest that existing rights language, partly because it has normalized rights work as the predominant solution in the face of oppression, violence, war, and injustice, has not allowed scholars or activists to ask all of the questions that need to be asked or to consider the real transformations that need to occur. I close the chapter with a call for the development of a different rights language, one that has the potential to free people from the governing logic of capital by changing the terms of the debate and committing us to real social transformation.
