In Rage and Carnage in the Name of God, Abiodun Alao examines the
emergence of a culture of religious violence in postindependence
Nigeria, where Christianity, Islam, and traditional religions have
all been associated with violence. He investigates the root causes
and historical evolution of Nigeria's religious violence, locating
it in the forced coming together of disparate ethnic groups under
colonial rule, which planted the seeds of discord that religion,
elites, and domestic politics exploit. Alao discusses the histories
of Christianity, Islam, and traditional religions in the territory
that became Nigeria, the effects of colonization on the role of
religion, the development of Islamic radicalization and its
relation to Christian violence, the activities of Boko Haram, and
how religious violence intermixes with politics and governance. In
so doing, he uses religious violence as a way to more fully
understand intergroup relations in contemporary Nigeria.
