International Human Rights in Post-Colonial Africa: Universality in Perspective: International Law
Autor Santino Ayuel Longar Dauen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 apr 2024
International Human Rights in Post-Colonial Africa: Universality in Perspective advances three interrelated claims for international human rights standards in post-colonial Africa. The sweeping changes that have taken place in post-colonial Africa since colonial eras necessitate that we change our assumptions about the structural and socio-politico-economic systems of post-colonial Africa and their impact on individual and group rights. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this study is rooted in law and draws on philosophy, political science, anthropology, sociology, economics, and more. It advances legal and moral justifications for the universality of human rights standards, despite global cultural diversity. Aiming to weave a case for human rights as universal imperatives, this accessibly written book offers a range of definitions for readers not familiar with the language used in this particular field of study. Complex terms or terms of art have been defined to make it easier for readers to understand and follow the arguments.

Recenzii
"This book, written by a young scholar from South Sudan, a country that has been deeply embroiled in this debate because it is new and at war, is timely and as provocative as it is educative. International Human Rights in Post-Colonial Africa both educates and is enjoyable to read as it not only records all corners of highly contested perspectives, but also provides a picture of its author’s agile legal and philosophical mind."
