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. 7aHuman rightszAfricaxHistory.2BUEsh 7aHuman rightszAfricaxPhilosophy.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcMarch2019  2ddc  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-03-23ePurchaseg565.00h526l1m3o323.096 IBHp000043270r2025-07-15 00:00:00s2022-02-24v706.25yBB
