Interesting book comparing varoius standpoints on "the question of the animal", with discussion on Derrida, Wittgenstin, Animal Rights an much more.

The book "Animal Rites", by Cary Wolfe, examines the application of theory from Derrida, Lyotard, Cavell, and others, onto animals while dealing with humanism and ethics. Topics of race, sexuality, animality, and colonialism are applied to our understanding and interaction with animals.
