Liberation Debate Rights at Issue

Talking about rights invariably sparks controversy. As soon as the rights of a minority are at the centre 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, The Liberation Debate encourages readers to become active participants in fraught and topical debates.Leahy, Michael is the author of 'Liberation Debate Rights at Issue' with ISBN 9780415116947 and ISBN 0415116945.
