Drawing on the thought of George Herbert Mead, Justis Buchler, and others, Singer (philosophy, City U. of New York) develops a theory that challenges the individualism of the human rights tradition, and ascribes rights to collectivities as well as to individuals. She contends that right do not exist unless they are actually operating, that communities ranging from small groups to ethnic minorities and nations can have rights, and that animals cannot. Paper edition (unseen), $14.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
