nationalism is significant. A product of extensive research,
Violence in Nigeria makes a contribution to social and political
history, contested values, and the future of nationhood.
*CHOICE, Feb. 99, Vol 36, No. 6*
The book is impressively multi-disciplinary, combining
methodologies and theories from history, political science,
religious studies, public policy and sociology. It is a welcome
addition to scholarship on post-colonial politics and religions in
Africa. AF.

A splendid achievement. Meticulously researched and perceptive,
written with elegance and clarity, painstakingly balanced almost to
a fault, controversial and disturbing, though surprisingly
exhilarating and engrossing. . . it should be in every library
interested in the intersections of religions and politics in the
modern world.

written a timely and a very absorbing book.
