@TMakunya congratulations

My book has now been published by the Pretoria University Law Press, a day before my 34th birthday, and four years after I graduated from the University of Pretoria with my doctorate in comparative constitutional law. This book offers lawyers and (legal/constitutional) comparatists comparative insights into the way three (key) constitutional courts enhance the quality of human rights protection through interpretation. This birthday gift is open access (pulp.up.ac.za/catalogue/mono…). Download your copy and let’s engage (if you need to receive a printed copy for, say, your university library, do let me know).

Must read book by all Africans. Africa Is Not A Country brings the story of the continent towards reality, celebrating the energy and fabric of its different cultures and communities in a way that has never been done before. Africa Is Not A Country is a bright portrait of modern Africa that pushes back against harmful stereotypes to tell a more comprehensive story. You already know these stereotypes. So often Africa is depicted simplistically as an arid red landscape of famines and safaris, uniquely plagued by poverty and strife. Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective. He examines each country’s colonial heritage, and explores a wide range of subjects, from chronicling urban life in Lagos and the lively West African rivalry over who makes the best Jollof rice, to the story of democracy in seven dictatorships and the dangers of stereotypes in popular culture.
