Hitherto the human rights debate in Africa has concentrated on the
legal and philosophical. The author, Professor of Law at the
University of Dar es Salaam, here moves the debate to the social
and political planes. He attempts to reconceptualise human rights
ideology from the standpoint of the working people in Africa. He
defines the approach as avoiding the pitfalls of the liberal
perspective as being absolutist in viewing human rights as a
central question and the rights struggle as the backbone of
democratic struggles. The author maintains that such a study cannot
be politically neutral or intellectually uncommitted. Both the
critique of dominant discourse and the reconceptualisation are
located within the current social science and jurisprudential
debates.
