{"product_id":"living-through-crisis-by-lake-alessio-iocchi-9781032155296","title":"Living through Crisis by Lake Chad: Violence, Labor and Resources","description":"This book investigates the ways in which people in the Lake Chad region that divides Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon deal with the crises of violence, jihadism, drought, and climate change that continue to afflict the area. In 2014 Boko Haram expanded into the Lake Chad region, prompting a counter-insurgency response, and exacerbating pre-existing social and ecological challenges. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, this book investigates how people within the liminal space of this key border region respond to and navigate the unpredictability which typifies their day-to-day lives. Building up a picture of individual and community experiences of crisis, the book gradually demonstrates the complex interactions between economic circuits, political orders, socio-religious processes, and labour practices which operate in the region. This book will be of interest to researchers across African studies, security studies, political science, and border studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessio Iocchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032155299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032155296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Alessio Iocchi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075486937343,"sku":"9781032155296","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3879be4b-49a9-41dd-b7da-534f68a9ddc7.jpg?v=1685459711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-through-crisis-by-lake-alessio-iocchi-9781032155296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
