Titre : Human Rights in Africa Human Rights in Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bonny Ibhawoh, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 248 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-60239-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Human rights have a deep and tumultuous history that culminates in the age of rights we live in today, but where does Africa's story fit in with this global history? Here, Bonny Ibhawoh maps this story and offers a comprehensive and interpretative history of human rights in Africa. Rather than a tidy narrative of ruthless violators and benevolent protectors, this book reveals a complex account of indigenous African rights traditions embodied in the wisdom of elders and sages; of humanitarians and abolitionists who marshalled arguments about natural rights and human dignity in the cause of anti-slavery; of the conflictual encounters between natives and colonists in the age of Empire and the 'civilizing mission'; of nationalists and anti-colonialists who deployed an emergent lexicon of universal human rights to legitimize longstanding struggles for self-determination, and of dictators and dissidents locked in struggles over power in the era of independence and constitutional rights.
Presents a broad interpretative history of human rights in Africa
Examines Africa's place in the global history of human rights
