The 1970s and 1980s were times of political and religious turmoil
in Nigeria, characterized by governmental upheaval, and aggressive
confrontations between the Sufi brotherhoods and the Izala
movement. In Islamic Reform and Political Change in Northern
Nigeria, Roman Loimeier explores the intermeshing of religion in
the struggle for political influence and preservation of the
interests of Nigerian Muslims. Loimeier's careful scholarship
combines astute readings of the work of previous scholars--both
published and unpublished--with archival material and the findings
of his own fieldwork in Nigeria. His work fills a substantial gap
in contemporary Nigerian studies. This book provides invaluable and
essential reading for serious students of Nigerian politics and of
Islamic movements in Africa.
