This is still the first major systematic account of history, cultural politics and dynamics of the Azawad resistance. Perhaps, more importantly, this book presents a rigorous in-depth account of the emergence of the pro-MNLA Facebook online community. The rising social media outreach campaign of this group poses a food for thought about the future of MNLA and the implications of pro-MNLA's online activism for peace and security in Mali. This book is a must read for scholars and practitioners of International Relations and Development Studies, Conflict and Peace Studies, Political Science, Law and Social Media Studies. -Innocent Chiluwa, Covenant University, Nigeria Author InformationMichael Keen (BA, Emory University; MLitt, University of St. Andrews) is an analyst whose work focuses on security issues in the Sahel.
