It has often been argued that the concept of human rights is an
artefact of modern Western civilisation, that human rights in the
South are privileges conferred. These approaches have taken little
cognisance of the place accorded to the societal rights held in
such esteem as complementary to individual rights in traditional
African society. In contrast, this study argues that human rights
in Africa are as much about the dignity of Africans as about the
commitments of others towards them. It argues for a critical
defence of universal human rights within a multicultural framework.
From historical perspectives, it illustrates how the slave trade,
and then colonialism undermined the traditional balance of
individual and societal rights.
