Warfare, endemic violence & state collapse in AfricaReview of African Political Economy, 26
Why would essentially local, and in some ways parochial, movements be construed by those in power, and by those holding the reins of state power in partkviar, as a threat to the Nigerian state? What is there about the site–specific character of such irreducibly local social movements that explain in some way the mass violence which surrounds the efforts by the state to limit their appeal, their legitimacy, their goals? How can one explain the particular geography of intolerance? The paper provides an account which explores the weakness of nation‐building in Nigeria (its "public secret"), weaknesses and tensions that were deepened by the contradictory impact of petro‐capitalism. (Ethnicity, nationalism, violence, Islam, Nigeria)
