dc.description	This book provides a comparative analysis of citizenship laws across African nations, highlighting their arbitrary, discriminatory, and contradictory nature. It examines how these laws contribute to statelessness, preventing individuals from voting, owning property, or accessing basic rights. The study explores key themes such as citizenship by descent, naturalization, gender discrimination, dual citizenship, and the right to identity documents. It also discusses international norms and offers recommendations for aligning African citizenship laws with global human rights standards.	en_US
