Beskrivning
An essential and timely exploration of Boko Haram, a terror group whose violence has surpassed every other modern terror group including that of Daesh, al Qaeda and Al-Shabaab.This key volume constitutes a vital resource on Boko Haram’s ideology, history, leadership, and pivot towards violence. With particular emphasis on the events, personalities, radical histories and Islamic discourses that shaped Boko Haram’s rise, the volume examines the movement’s formative years under Muhammad Yusuf and its evolution into one of the world’s most violent terror groups. Delving into the traditions, institutional structures and politicisation of shari‘a (Islamic law) in Northern Nigeria, this ground-breaking volume offers crucial insights into Boko Haram as a social movement that exploits political Islam towards deadly ends.

Recensioner i media

The Making of Boko Haram is more than yet another book about an insurgent group. It is a study of how violence is socially produced, historically embedded and politically rationalised. Indeed, a masterpiece and a must read. This book is recommended for anyone seeking to understand not just Boko Haram, but the broader dynamics of insurgency and religious mobilisation in Africa.
