Description

The Future of African Customary Law by Jeanmarie Fenrich, Paolo Galizzi and Tracy E. Higgins explores the complexities of customary law in sub-Saharan Africa, where it remains a vital part of the region's legal systems. This volume examines the characteristics of customary law, its codification efforts, and how it differs from legislation and common law. It also delves into key areas such as traditional authorities, land tenure, property rights, and the relationship between customary law and human rights. By shedding light on the evolution and relevance of customary law in Africa, this book aims to promote discussion and understanding among scholars and practitioners alike.
