Meer over het boek
Focusing on the roots of religious violence in postindependence Nigeria, Abiodun Alao explores how colonialism fostered discord among diverse ethnic groups, which has been manipulated by religion and political elites. He delves into the historical contexts of Christianity, Islam, and traditional beliefs, examining their roles in violence, the rise of Islamic radicalization, and the impact of groups like Boko Haram. By analyzing these dynamics, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between religion, politics, and intergroup relations in modern Nigeria.
