Much of the existing literature on the unconsented taking of property focuses on constitutional takings rather than on the complete opposite side of the takings spectrum, where property is taken by individuals or states, no (or nominal) compensation is paid, and dehumanization or infantilization result.<\/p>\n

The concept of a dignity takings<\/strong> provides a vocabulary to describe and analyze the takings that poor and vulnerable populations have routinely been subjected to across the globe and in different historical periods; while the concept of dignity restoration<\/strong> provides a lexicon to discuss attendant remedies necessary and, more importantly, a space to re-imagine their purpose and potential.<\/p>\n

The Chicago-Kent Law Review 2016 Live Symposium will extend Chicago-Kent College of Law Professor Bernadette Atuahene\u2019s South African case study presented in We Want What\u2019s Ours<\/a><\/em> by examining instances of dignity takings and dignity restoration in different contexts.<\/p>\n
