Grappling with issues of privilege and injustice in four African countries, the authors of Moral Eyes draw on extensive interviews with university students to demonstrate how injustices not only evolve over time, but also find a place within the collective memory of young people. Their work, encompassing questions of religion, language, ethnicity, and race, powerfully demonstrates how injustice persists despite changes in political leadership and processes of democratization
