Reviews
The book is a significant contribution to the fields of international law and African studies ... [It] provides a basis from which to start to make sense of a vast continent which has been forgotten in its hour of need. It points the way forward and clarifies the difficult historical and intellectual problems that must be comprehended if Africa is to be understood both by Africans as well as outsiders. -- Director of the Human Rights Center at SUNY Buffalo School of Law and author of Human Rights: A Political and Cultural Critique A timely, well written book that will appeal to those interested in Africa-international lawyers, international relations specialists, and others who are concerned about the impact of the global war on terrorism on the role of international law and social justice ... there is no question that this is an important book that draws on a wide variety of sources and disciplines to address both an area that has been neglected for far too long in the US (African politics and history) and an issue that is at the forefront of US foreign policy today (the legitimate use of military force internationally). -- Ronald C. Slye, Seattle University School of Law Law and Politics Book Review
