Extract

In March, 2004, I received a U.S. Speaker and Specialist grant from the Department of State to travel to Africa and present several lectures on civil liberties and the rule of law. During my two weeks in Eritrea, I visited with undergraduate and law students at the University of Asmara. The impetus for the visit was the result of a new initiative by the Department of State entitled “Rights of the People”; the following essay highlights aspects of this initiative and also explains my experiences teaching civil liberties in Africa.
