{"product_id":"boko-haram-brandon-kendhammer-9780821423516","title":"Boko Haram","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom its small-time origins in the early 2000s to its transformation into one of the world's most-recognized terrorist groups, this remarkable short book tells the story of Boko Haram's bloody, decade-long war in northeastern Nigeria. Going beyond the headlines, including the group's 2014 abduction of 276 girls in Chibok and the international outrage it inspired, \u003ci\u003eBoko Haram\u003c\/i\u003e provides readers new to the conflict with a clearly written and comprehensive history of how the group came to be, the Nigerian government's failed efforts to end it, and its enormous impact on ordinary citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on years of research, \u003ci\u003eBoko Haram\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely addition to the acclaimed Ohio Short Histories of Africa. Brandon Kendhammer and Carmen McCain--two leading specialists on northern Nigeria--separate fact from fiction within one of the world's least-understood conflicts. Most distinctively, it is a social history, one that tells the story of Boko Haram's violence through the journalism, literature, film, and music made by people close to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Kendhammer, Carmen McCain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821423517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821423516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Brandon Kendhammer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45477274779903,"sku":"9780821423516","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b76a73e4-c6ed-4746-b9f8-2bb5404baed8.jpg?v=1715919549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boko-haram-brandon-kendhammer-9780821423516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
