Africa often remains neglected in studies that discuss the historical relationship between international law and imperialism during the nineteenth century. When it does feature, focus tends to be on the Scramble for Africa, and the treaties concluded between European powers and African polities in which sovereignty and territory were ceded. Drawing on a wide range of archival material, Inge Van Hulle brings a fresh new perspective to this traditional narrative. She reviews the use and creation of legal instruments that expanded or delineated the boundaries between British jurisdiction and African communities in West Africa, and uncovers the practicality and flexibility with which international legal discourse was employed in imperial contexts. This legal experimentation went beyond treaties of cession, and also encompassed commercial treaties, the abolition of the slave trade, extraterritoriality, and the use of force. The book argues that, by the 1880s, the legal techniques that were fashioned in the language of international law in West Africa had largely developed their own substantive characteristics. Legal ordering was not done in reference to adjudication before Western courts or the writings of Western lawyers, but in reference to what was deemed politically expedient and practically feasible by imperial agents for the preservation of social peace, commercial interaction, and humanitarian agendas.

The Greatest Works of W.E.B. Du Bois is a comprehensive collection of essays, speeches, and manifestos by the prominent African American sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist. Du Bois' literary style is eloquent and thought-provoking, addressing issues of race, social justice, and the African American experience in America. This collection of writings provides invaluable insights into the struggles faced by African Americans during the early 20th century and remains relevant in modern times. The book is a testament to Du Bois' intellectual prowess and his commitment to challenging the status quo through his written work. W.E.B. Du Bois, a founding member of the NAACP, was a trailblazer in the fight for civil rights and racial equality. His personal experiences as an African American scholar and activist shaped his writing, giving voice to the marginalized and oppressed. Du Bois' dedication to social justice is evident in his powerful and influential works, making him a key figure in American history. I highly recommend The Greatest Works of W.E.B. Du Bois to readers interested in African American history, civil rights movements, and social activism. Du Bois' timeless writings offer a deep understanding of the racial struggles faced by African Americans and the ongoing quest for equality and justice in society.

The specialized vocabularies of lawyers, ethicists, and political scientists obscure the roots of many real disagreements. In this book, the distinguished American international lawyer Alfred Rubin provides a penetrating account of where these roots lie, and argues powerfully that disagreements which have existed for 3,000 years are unlikely to be resolved soon. Attempts to make 'war crimes' or 'terrorism' criminal under international law seem doomed to fail for the same reasons that attempts failed in the early nineteenth century to make piracy, war crimes, and the international traffic in slaves criminal under the law of nations. And for the same reasons, Professor Rubin argues, it is unlikely that an international criminal court can be instituted today to enforce ethicists' versions of 'international law'.
