Salafism and Political Order in Africa

bySebastian Elischer

Violent Islamic extremism is affecting a growing number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The argument in Salafism and Political Order in Africa develops through archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the salafism and political order in africa to larger questions in political science and religion, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Salafism and Political Order in Africa preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
