Rebecca Solnit who has written a series of books, the latest is Hope In the Dark, reflects on Thoreau, civil rights and activism in Post 9/11 culture.
Reimagining the Landscape of Fear: Rights are like muscles, they disappear if you don't use them.
Solnit dicusses a very important document that examines the current state of civil rights in the U.S.:

Solnit is in my opinion, one of the most interesting creators of essays now writing. Her book "Wanderlust: A History of Walking" doesn't live up to its title but is fascinating on its own terms.
