This book explores the contested notions of territory and belonging in Nigeria, most especially among the Fulani and other ethnic groups in Kaduna. The book argues that these controversies center around Indigenous, nomadic, and autochthonous claims of belonging. The author identifies these differing notions of belonging as a major condition of violent conflicts in Kaduna and across various postcolonial societies. The author’s analysis demonstrates how dynamic ideological impetuses for these conflicts underscore broader issues of citizenship rights, nationhood, and local peacebuilding in Nigeria.

The most outstanding contribution of the book is that it enables the people to tell their own stories of the crisis in southern Kaduna as they experience the situations. The people are also given the opportunity of sharing information about their local peacebuilding efforts, strategies and coping mechanisms. Those managing the problem are now given better perspectives for packaging context specific interventions, which also holds potential to inform future research planning in Peace and Conflict Studies.
