Justice and Human Rights in the African Imagination is an
interdisciplinary reading of justice in literary texts and memoirs,
films, and social anthropological texts in postcolonial Africa.
Inspired by Nelson Mandela and South Africa's robust achievements
in human rights, this book argues that the notion of restorative
justice is integral to the proper functioning of participatory
democracy and belongs to the moral architecture of any decent
society. Focusing on the efforts by African writers, scholars,
artists, and activists to build flourishing communities, the author
discusses various quests for justice such as environmental justice,
social justice, intimate justice, and restorative justice. It
discusses in particular ecological violence, human rights abuses
such as witchcraft accusations, the plight of people affected by
disability, homophobia, misogyny, and sex trafficking, and
forgiveness. This book will be of interest to scholars of African
literature and films, literature and human rights, and literature
and the environment. The Open Access version of this book,
