A Warrior for Justice: Essays in Honour of Dikgang Moseneke is a
culmination of a series of events to honour former Deputy Chief
Justice, Dikgang Moseneke. A well-attended symposium was held at
the University of Cape Town on 7 December 2016, with thoughtful
presentations and engaged dialogue in honour of a great
jurisprudential mind and judicial leader. The papers presented at
the symposium appear in this volume, while additional papers were
included to add to the richness of the tribute which we pay to
Justice Moseneke upon his retirement from the Bench. The articles
in A Warrior for Justice are arranged into three main thematic
sections: judicial engagement and the separation of powers;
transformation, equality and indigeneity; and economic justice. In
addition, there are personal reflections from colleagues, friends
and a former Constitutional Court clerk. These reflections remind
us of the human being behind the distinguished legal mind of
Justice Moseneke.
Using her experience of living under apartheid and witnessing its
downfall and the subsequent creation of new governments in South
Africa, the author examines and compares gender inequality in
societies undergoing political and economic transformation. By
applying this process of legal transformation as a paradigm, the
author applies this model to Afghanistan. These two societies serve
as counterpoints through which the book engages, in a nuanced and
novel way, with the many broader issues that flow from the attempts
in newly democratic societies to give effect to the promise of
gender equality. Developing the idea of 'conditional
interdependence', the book suggests a new approach based on the
communitarian values which underpin newly democratic societies and
would allow women's rights to gain momentum and reap greater
benefits. Broad in its thematic approach, the book generates
challenging and complex questions about the achievement of gender
equality. It will be of interest to academics interested in gender
and human rights, international and comparative law.

African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and
Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert
opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This
is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in
relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a
rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this
new reliance on expert testimony. Over the past two decades, courts
in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports
tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts
increasingly draw upon such testimony in their deliberations,
expertise in matters of asylum and refugee status is emerging as an
academic area with its own standards, protocols, and guidelines.
This deeply thoughtful book explores these developments and their
effects on both asylum seekers and the experts whose influence may
determine their fate. Contributors: Iris Berger, Carol Bohmer, John
Campbell, Katherine Luongo, E. Ann McDougall, Karen Musalo, Tricia
Redeker Hepner, Amy Shuman, Joanna T. Tague, Meredith Terretta, and
Charlotte Walker-Said.
