AB -  Book Reviews As a justification for this suggested move, I would mention in passing that in the non-Western view, the insistence on the "inseparability" of all human rights distantly echoes the purported Western notion that rights are "universal and equal" (Hunt, p. 3). This inseparability view is reflected in the Bangkok Declaration of 1993. In reality and by comparison, nevertheless, it is the West that views human rights as "universal" but "unequal" in that political rights take precedence over economic rights, and individual rights over group rights. (Increasingly it is more of an American view, as compared with those of European nations.) Admittedly, these remain questions of fundamental importance that could be adequately addressed only within a broad comparative schema that takes in view different, at times conflicting, cultural connotations of the concept of human rights. To reiterate, it is amazing that the individual essays, each in its own right, are so worth serious reading, given the book's lack of a schematic design by intent. james c. hsiung New York University The Women of Colonial Latin America.
