Muslim Civic Cultures and Conflict Resolution: The Challenge of Democratic Federalism in Nigeria


Add your own review!

Overview

John Paden, a noted expert on West African and Islamic societies, uses Nigeria as a critical case study of how a diverse country with a significant Muslim population is working to make the transition to a democratic society. Although little-studied, the non-Arab Muslim communities of West Africa are an important indicator as to whether Islamic democracy in a diverse nation is possible.
