The main objective and purpose of this book therefore is to underscore the challenges besetting the effective enforcement of international human rights law in Africa and the prospects and promises of an effective regional human rights system. The book, a revised and updated version of my earlier book entitled The African System on Human and Peoples’ Rights: Its Promises, Prospects and Pitfalls, captures succinctly the recent developments of the system, since the publication of its predecessor. This is done with the understanding that the African human rights system is gradually progressing, despite the fact that it is not only the least developed but also the least effective as compared with its American and European counterparts.

Sexuality and Gender Politics in Mozambique
KShs 1,499.00Winner of the 2012 gender research award KRAKA-prisen.
This book is about gender politics in Mozambique over three decades from 1975 to 2005. The book is also about different ways of understanding gender and sexuality. Gender policies from Portuguese colonialism, through Frelimo socialism to later neo-liberal economic regimes share certain basic assumptions about men, women and gender relations. But to what extent do such assumptions fit the ways in which rural Mozambican men and women see themselves? A major line of argument in the book is that gender relations should be investigated, not assumed, and that policies not matching people’s lives are not likely to succeed.
The empirical data, on which the argument is based, are first a unique body of data material collected 1982-1984 by the national women’s organization, the OMM [when the author was employed as a sociologist in the organization] andsecondly data resulting from more recent fieldwork in northern Mozambique.
Importantly inspired by African post-colonial feminist lines of thinking, the book engages in a project of re-mapping and re-interpreting ‘culture andtradition’. In this context, the book investigates in particular matriliny [c. 40 per cent of Mozambique’s population live under conditions of matriliny] and female initiation. The findings open new avenues for gender politics, and for rethinking sexuality and gender – in Africa and beyond.Signe Arnfred is Associate Professor, Dept of Society & Globalization, and Centre for Gender, Power & Diversity, Roskilde University

Procedure in the Law of Succession in Kenya
KShs 1,800.00One of the difficulties courts have been having in the past in dealing with the Law of Succession Act, had been with the issue of marriage. The Succession Act and the Marriage Act were to have come into operation simultaneously. This did not occur until almost 50 years later. The Marriage Act was gazetted on the 6 May 2014. Parliament amended and consolidated “the various laws relating to Marriage and Divorce and to connected purposes.”
