This book brings together African and American scholars on human rights and Africa, who look at the broad issues relating to global human rights within the specific context of Africa. The key concerns addressed include notions of traditional human rights, structural adjustment and its effect on human rights, regional integration and the right to development, and political liberalization.

In addition to broad themes, the collection looks at instances of human rights concerns in specific states including Liberia (humanitarian intervention), Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya (political liberalization and structural adjustment), Ethiopia (humanitarian assistance), Botswana (traditional human rights formulations), and South Africa (liberation struggle). The volume will be of particular interest to political scientists and legal scholars involved with current African issues as well as human rights organizations and church groups focusing on Africa.
