Summary

Talking about rights invariably sparks controversy. As soon as the rights of a minority are at the center of a discussion, it becomes very difficult to distinguish polemics from rational argument, and moral from political concerns. This well-documented collection challenges the reader to examine and judge the arguments in six areas of contemporary unrest: women's liberation, black liberation, gay liberation, children's liberation, animal liberation and liberation in the Third World. It refrains from taking a single point of view, thus allowing the reader to gain an insight into the various aspects of the debate. Designed both for students and a general audience, this volume encourages readers to become active participants in a lively and topical debate.
