Apart from being problems that have an indelible African mark on them, a common theme that runs throughout the essays in this book is that African legal theory has been excluded, under-explored or under-theorised in the search for solutions to such contemporary problems. The essays make a modest attempt to reverse this trend. The contributors investigate and introduce readers to the key issues, questions, concepts, impulses and problems that underpin the idea of African legal theory. They outline the potential offered by African legal theory and open up its key concepts and impulses for critical scrutiny. This is done in order to develop a better understanding of the extent to which African legal theory can contribute to discourses seeking to address some of the challenges that confront African and non-African societies alike. 000696368 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000696368 650_0 $$aLaw$$zAfrica$$xPhilosophy. 000696368 650_0 $$aHuman rights$$zAfrica. 000696368 7001_ $$aOnazi, Oche,$$eeditor of compilation. 000696368 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAfrican legal theory and contemporary problems$$z9789400775367$$w(OCoLC)857956630 000696368 830_0 $$aIus gentium (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ;$$vv. 29. 000696368 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696368 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7537-4$$zOnline Access 000696368 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696368$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696368 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696368 980__ $$aBIB 000696368 982__ $$aEbook 000696368 983__ $$aOnline 000696368 994__ $$a92$$bISE
