Afrikan Jurisprudence: Luo Theories, Institutions and Procedures of Law and Justice




Whenever a people stay together, they cultivate their own style of living, covering food they eat, to types of shelter, personal relationships and institutions to provide services to the people; and such a system existed amongst the Luo people of Kenya. And when the people meet new people, out of force, or contract, their style of life is changed, and so happened to the Luo people on the contact with the European culture and colonization. Of course, the imperialist Europeans considered the existing style of life uncivilized, backward and savage and the people less intelligent. This book is a comparative analysis of Luo people’s jurisprudence, taking an analytical look at the theories of law and justice; the institutions of making the law, implementing the law and solving disputes; and the procedures of making the law, implementing the law, and solving disputes.
