In his extensive body of work, Professor Abdullahi Ahmed An-Naim
challenges both historical interpretations of Islamic Sharia and
neo-colonial understanding of human rights. To advance the
rationale of scholarship for social change, An-Naim proposes
advancing the universality of human rights through internal
discourse within Islamic and African societies and cross-cultural
dialogue among human cultures. This book proposes a transformation
from human rights organized around a state determined practice to
one that is focused on a people-centric approach that empowers
individuals to decide how human rights will be understood and
integrated into their communities. Decolonizing Human Rights aims
to illustrate the decisive role of human agency on the subject of
change, without implying that Islamic or any other society are
exceptionally disposed to politically motivated violence and
consequent profound political instability.
