Pursuing Justice in Africa focuses on the many actors pursuing many
visions of justice across the African continent--their aspirations,
divergent practices, and articulations of international and
vernacular idioms of justice. The essays selected by editors
Jessica Johnson and George Hamandishe Karekwaivanane engage with
topics at the cutting edge of contemporary scholarship across a
wide range of disciplines. These include activism, land tenure,
international legal institutions, and postconflict reconciliation.
Building on recent work in sociolegal studies that foregrounds
justice over and above concepts such as human rights and legal
pluralism, the contributors grapple with alternative approaches to
the concept of justice and its relationships with law, morality,
and rights. While the chapters are grounded in local experiences,
they also attend to the ways in which national and international
actors and processes influence, for better or worse, local
experiences and understandings of justice. The result is a timely
and original addition to scholarship on a topic of major scholarly
and pragmatic interest. Contributors: Felicitas Becker, Jonathon L.
Earle, Patrick Hoenig, Stacey Hynd, Fred Nyongesa Ikanda, Ngeyi
Ruth Kanyongolo, Anna Macdonald, Bernadette Malunga, Alan Msosa,
Benson A. Mulemi, Holly Porter, Duncan Scott, Olaf Zenker.
