This book offers an up-to-date, comprehensive interdisciplinary
analysis of the multifaceted and evolving experiences of human
rights in Sierra Leone between the years 1787 and 2016. It provides
a balanced coverage of the local and international conditions that
frame the socio-cultural, political, and economic context of human
rights: its rise and fall, and concerns for the broader engendered
issues of the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, women's
struggle for recognition, constitutional development, political
independence, war, and transitional justice (as well as
"contributive justice," which the author introduces to explain the
consequences of the problems of the temporal nature of transitional
justice, and the crisis of donor fatigue towards peacebuilding
activities), local government, democracy, and constitutional
reforms within Sierra Leone. While acknowledging the profound
challenges associated with the promotion of human rights in an
environment of uncertainty, political fragility, lawlessness, and
deprivation, John Idriss Lahai sheds light on the
often-constructive engagement of the people of Sierra Leone with a
variety of societal conditions, adverse or otherwise, to influence
constitutional change, the emergent post-coflict discourse on
"contributive justice," and acceptable human rights practice. This
book will be of interest to scholars in West African history, legal
history, African studies, peace and conflict studies, human rights
and transitional justice.
