Reviews

The contributors to this authoritative volume provide compelling and comprehensive analyses of the scourge of violent insecurity in Nigeria in all its multilayered dimensions, from banditry, kidnapping, and farmers-herders' conflicts to ethno-separatist or sectarian violence, oil militancy, and cybercriminal activities. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the contributors eloquently analyze the structural and sociological contradictions, radical ideological contestations, international networks, and governance failures behind Nigeria's chronic instability, while proffering actionable pathways to a more peaceful and secure homeland. The collection represents a bold, balanced, and brilliant addition to the emerging field of Nigerian security studies. --Rotimi Suberu, Bennington College
