In the African colonial context, modern European law and the state were used to impose on the enslaved and the colonized a legal and political monism aimed at concealing and subordinating the plurality of legal, political, cultural, religious and economic orders that they brought to the islands. Being at the basis of slave society, this hegemonic law and state, on the one hand, contributed to the removal of contact with other forms of legal and political organization on the continent and, on the other hand, to the resistance and recreation of Afro-Black heritage in surreptitious forms of management and resolution of political-legal conflicts in the localities. This panel aims to analyze and challenge the colonial and Eurocentric continuities in African law and justice after independence in a context marked by numerous security challenges, as well as to discuss alternative legal, social and political proposals based on theoretically and/or empirically supported work. In addition to the counter-colonial approach and counter-coloniality, legal, sociological, anthropological and criminological visions are presented that rethink traditional approaches and methodologies in order to broaden the horizon of legal and political constellations, such as in the fields of community justice, collaborative justice, restorative justice and other unrecognized latitudes of African legal and political plurality.
