%X This book is the first attempt to understand Boko Haram in a comprehensive and consistent way. It examines the early history of the sect and its transformation into a radical armed group. It analyses the causes of the uprising against the Nigerian state and evaluates the consequences of the on-going conflict from a religious, social and political point of view. The book gives priority to authors conducting fieldwork in Nigeria and tackles the following issues : the extent to which Boko Haram can be considered the product of deprivation and marginalisation ; the relationship of the sect with almajirai, Islamic schools, Sufi brotherhoods, Izala, and Christian churches ; the role of security forces and political parties in the radicalisation of the sect ; the competing discourses in international and domestic media coverage of the crisis ; and the consequences of the militarisation of the conflict for the Nigerian government and the civilian population, Christian and Muslim.
