After an analysis of the links between religionand politics, the book elaborates on all the major cases of violence in the 1980s and 90s, including the Maitatsine, Kano, Bauchi, Kaduna, and Katsina riots. Zones of religious tensions are identified, as well as general characteristics of violence in Nigeria; and issues in inter and intra-religious relations, relious organizations, and the states, and the main actors in the conflicts are explored in great detail. A product of extensive primary research, Violence in Nigeria makes a contribution to contemporary social and political history that no previous study has attempted, and it is written to appeal to specialists and non-specialists alike.\u003cbr\u003e Toyin Falola is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author or editor of over a dozen books dealing with the history of Nigeria, its people, their religion and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toyin Falola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580460526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580460521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Rochester Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.86w x 0.88d","brand":"Toyin Falola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068645110015,"sku":"9781580460521","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a3c4dfe-2ccf-4ed3-b472-04a91374d460.jpg?v=1685420199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-in-nigeria-toyin-falola-9781580460521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
