Rightlessness in an Age of Rights offers a critical inquiry of human rights by rethinking the key concepts and arguments of twentieth-century political theorist Hannah Arendt. At the heart of this critical inquiry are the challenging questions posed by the contemporary struggles of asylum-seekers, refugees, and undocumented immigrants. Bristling with insights into the plight of migrants in today's global economy, Gundogdu's book offers a creative rereading of Hannah Arendt's controversial critique of human rights. She perceptively grasps that the key insight in Arendt's difficult notion of a 'right to have rights' is not to ground rights in a normative foundation but to reanimate them as quotidian political practices of founding. In this way, Gundogdu offers a fresh response to the tenacious problems of rightlessness which at once includes and goes well beyond juridical appeals to the sovereign state.
