“Many in academics excel because of narrowing down their areas of specialisation. This is not the case with Battling over Human Rights. The twenty essays in the book move from the general to the particular addressing a wide range of current human rights issues and struggles. Underpinned by thorough research, Oloka-Onyango has done ample justice to the issues he set out to write on over the years. This book is essential reading for the politician, as well as for academics and students of law, political science, public administration and development studies. It is also a must read for the common mwananchi!”
