'This erudite and engaging book digs into the complexity of sovereignty to show how backlash against international justice is rooted in broader legitimation strategies African states engage.'
Kerstin Bree Carlson, University of Southern Denmark

'The authors explore African states' complex entanglements with a wide range of international and regional courts with theoretical sophistication and superb empirical depth. A must-read for anyone interested in the historical and political undercurrents that determine these modern phenomena.'
Phil Clark, School of Oriental and African Studies

'The relationship between African states and international courts has long called for careful, compassionate, and comprehensive reflection. This book offers just that and is bound to be essential reading for those interested in "backlash" and global equality.'
Mark Kersten, University of Toronto
