Book Synopsis Women's Human Rights by : Susan Deller Ross
Download or read book Women's Human Rights written by Susan Deller Ross and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Susan Deller Ross, many human rights advocates still do not see women's rights as human rights. Yet women in many countries suffer from laws, practices, customs, and cultural and religious norms that consign them to a deeply inferior status. Advocates might conceive of human rights as involving torture, extrajudicial killings, or cruel and degrading treatment—all clearly in violation of international human rights—and think those issues irrelevant to women. Yet is female genital mutilation, practiced on millions of young girls and even infants, not a gross violation of human rights? When a family decides to murder a daughter in the name of "honor," is that not an extrajudicial killing? When a husband rapes or savagely beats his wife, knowing the legal authorities will take no action on her behalf, is that not cruel and degrading treatment? Women's Human Rights is the first human rights casebook to focus specifically on women's human rights. Rich with interdisciplinary material, the book advances the study of the deprivation and violence women suffer due to discriminatory laws, religions, and customs that deny them their most fundamental freedoms. It also provides present and future lawyers the legal tools for change, demonstrating how human rights treaties can be used to obtain new laws and court decisions that protect women against discrimination with respect to employment, land ownership, inheritance, subordination in marriage, domestic violence, female genital mutilation, polygamy, child marriage, and the denial of reproductive rights. Ross examines international and regional human rights treaties in depth, including treaty language and the jurisprudence and general interpretive guidelines developed by human rights bodies. By studying how international human rights law has been and can be implemented at the domestic level through local courts and legislatures, readers will understand how to call upon these newly articulated human rights to help bring about legislation, court decisions, and executive action that protect women from human rights violations.

Book Synopsis Land as a Human Right by : Abdon Rwegasira
Download or read book Land as a Human Right written by Abdon Rwegasira and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wherever there is a persons right, there is a corresponding duty imposed upon that person to respect the rights of others. This co-existence of rights and duties may be explained better by the principle of reciprocity of rights and duties. Such is the basis of Land as as Human Right: A History of Land Law and Practice in Tanzania. The esteemed author documents Tanzanian land law along its line of historical development (pre- and post-independence) whereby the thorny issues about rights and duties of the landed, landless and the intermediaries are elucidated. This volume is not limited to events in Tanzania, but includes jurisprudence of land law of other countries in order to tap some interpretative devices of our own by way of analogies. Various case types- reported and unreported, local and foreign- provide a tangible content to what would otherwise be pure theory. He also makes references to local newspapers as a way of tapping the public responses about land-related matters. His survey of such cases in and outside Tanzania led automatically to judgments touching on womens right to matrimonial property and inheritance; individual and collective rights to land; and the right to land of the indigenous peoples. It is the authors view that land law has remained poorly documented in Tanzania. There is plenty of literature about Land Law, yet these sources are not easily available or even accessible to every interested person. Equally, some of the available literature is so old that it may not always depict land law and/or practice as we tend to understand it today. This volume is a comprehensive text on land law in which all the necessary land law principles are highlighted with great precision. Advocate Rwegasira does this with a human rights approach, believing that it is through this approach that a persons right to land, whether individual or collective can best be explained, especially in this era when conflict over land is unabatedly becoming central in family, communal and societal relations. The language of human rights is for all of us to speak. It follows, therefore, that practitioners both of the bar and the bench will also find it useful for quick reference, much as will do policy makers, law reformers and the general public in and outside Tanzania.
Download or read book Girl Cases written by Brett L. Shadle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-08-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late 1930s, a crisis in colonial Gusiiland developed over traditional marriage customs. Couples eloped, wives deserted husbands, fathers forced daughters into marriage, and desperate men abducted women as wives. Existing historiography focuses on women who either fled their rural homes to escape a new dual patriarchy-African men backed by colonial officials-or surrendered themselves to this new power. Girl Cases: Marriage and Colonialism in Gusiiland, Kenya 1890-1970 takes a new approach to the study of Gusii marriage customs and shows that Gusii women stayed in their homes to fight over the nature of marriage. Gusii women and their lovers remained committed to traditional bridewealth marriage, but they raised deeper questions over the relations between men and women. During this time of social upheaval, thousands of marriage disputes flowed into local African courts. By examining court transcripts, Girl Cases sheds light on the dialogue that developed surrounding the nature of marriage. Should parental rights to arrange a marriage outweigh women's rights to choose their husbands? Could violence by abductors create a legitimate union? Men and women debated these and other issues in the courtroom, and Brett L. Shadle's analysis of the transcripts provides a valuable addition to African social history.
Book Synopsis African Law(s) by : Salvatore Mancuso
Download or read book African Law(s) written by Salvatore Mancuso and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a comparative law perspective and proposes a new approach for researching law in Africa. Western theoretical perspectives in comparative law are too Eurocentric to fully catch the peculiarities and characteristics of the African “lawscape”—in short, they are inadequate for studying African law. In this book, Professor Salvatore Mancuso considers the law in Africa from a different perspective. Deeply rooted in the culture of the African people, this approach considers African legal culture with the same legitimacy as Western legal culture, setting a precedent for future policy-making decisions relating to legislative development in Africa.
Book Synopsis Connectedness in Evolution by : Kamanzi, Adalbertus
Download or read book Connectedness in Evolution written by Kamanzi, Adalbertus and published by Africa Institute of South Africa. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is predicated on a combative decolonial-Afrocentric ecophilosophy of science of nature and humanity. It is rigorous and comprehensive scholarly account of how nature has been colonised and turned into a natural resource available for the Cartesian subject in charge of the capitalist system to humanity's ad infinitum exploitation, with serious consequences for sustainable developmentalism. There is no doubt that this ground-breaking monograph will challenge scholars and irritate new critical thinking on developmentalism, which takes into account the threat of human activity on nature, the environment and ecology. It is a bold presentation of thoughts that will provoke other researches. Away from the tempting positionality of degenerating into nostalgic and romantic traditionalism versus fast-lane modernism, the author consistently problematises the complex issues through deployment of multidimensional thinking, the relationship between human beings and nature, and how technology, development (in the colonial sense) and colonial expansionism have objectified nature, sucked it dry of its content, and reduced it to the status of raw material for the production of man's success.
