This volume will surely come to be regarded as a reference book for
dealing with those Sufi, Islamist, Salafist, and terrorist
movements developing in multi-ethnic and multireligious societies
in Africa and elsewhere. Mustapha's multidimensional and
multifaceted approach offers a credible and intelligible analysis
of the relevant historical, political, socio-economic, and
socio-cultural issues which led to the current situation in
Northern Nigeria.
*AFRICA SPECTRUM*
Mustapha's volume is an important corrective in the discourse about
Boko Haram specifically and Islamic violence - indeed, all
religious violence - generally, and it should be read by anyone who
claims the authority to pronounce on any of these matters.
