"The main aim of the book project is to develop a resource that moves legal education away from conventional teaching and research methods which employ a near-exclusive focus on the black letter of the law, perpetuating a colonial, hierarchical, and decontextualized understanding of contemporary struggles on the continent. The book analyzes a number of key legal concepts through the twin lenses of Decolonization and Afro-Feminism. It tackles issues of legal pluralism and their significance to social justice, and also unpacks and critiques the Western origins of Human Rights, and its implications for contemporary social struggles. Pushing this critique further, the book offers a reconceptualization of the concept of rights through the framework of Ubuntu social justice. It provides several insights on decolonizing the African Academy and the teaching of Law, particularly those subjects which cover the family and sexuality. In so doing, the book will unlock the out-of-sight connections between imperialism, neocolonialism and the patriarchal-capitalist system and the Law. Finally, the book tackles the increasingly vexed issue of Pan-Africanism, examining its masculinist appeal and suggesting a nexus with Pan-African feminisms."--
