Salafism in Nigeria: Islam, Preaching, and Politics - The International African Library
Thurston, Alexander (Georgetown University, Washington DC)
Alexander Thurston examines how Salafism, a globally influential Muslim movement, is reshaping religious authority in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country. Appealing to scholars of religion and politics, it provides a model for understanding how many new religious movements, including Salafism, place texts at the centre of their preaching and activism.
