Human Rights after Corporate Personhood is a comprehensive exploration of the ongoing debates surrounding corporate personhood and its implications for human rights. This book aims to go beyond the typical outrage response found in public discourse and corporate legal theory. By presenting original and innovative analyses, the volume offers an alternative perspective on corporate juridical personality and its relationship to human beings. It departs from the accounts provided by public law and explores potential applications of legal personality to support progressive initiatives such as environmental justice, animal rights, and Indigenous land claims. Written in a accessible style for non-specialist readers, the book incorporates a diverse range of sources, including law, poetry, fiction, and film, to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between corporations and the law in the twenty-first century. At the same time, it is firmly grounded in legal scholarship, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, lawmakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical intersection.
