Interdisciplinary in scope, this book draws from a range of specialized scholarship and archival research to intervene in current debates on the study of corporations.
Human Rights after Corporate Personhood offers a rich overview of current debates, and seeks to transcend the "outrage response" often found in public discourse and corporate legal theory. Through original and innovative analyses, the volume offers an alternative account of corporate juridical personality and its relation to the human, one that departs from accounts offered by public law. In addition, it explores opportunities for the application of legal personality to assist progressive projects, including, but not limited to, environmental justice, animal rights, and Indigenous land claims.

Presented accessibly for the benefit of non-specialist readers, the volume offers original arguments and draws on eclectic sources, from law and poetry to fiction and film. At the same time, it is firmly grounded in legal scholarship and, thus, serves as an essential reference for scholars, students, lawmakers, and anyone seeking a better understanding of the interface between corporations and the law in the twenty-first century.

Jody Greene is associate vice provost for Teaching and Learning and professor of Literature, Feminist Studies, and the History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Sharif Youssef is an assistant professor of English and Legal Studies at Ashoka University.
