Offers a critical examination of Nigeria's counter-terrorism policy as a political activity of identity construction.
This book critically engages with Nigeria''s counter-terrorism strategy as a means of identity construction. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, Kodili Chukwuma analyses how the federal government articulates and justifies its counter-terrorism policy against specific terrorist groups such as Boko Haram in order to construct Nigeria''s identity. He argues that the designation of particular terrorist threats as a new form of terrorism in Nigeria and beyond enables state counter-terrorism interventions. Revealing the complexities of Nigeria''s counter-terrorist strategy, this book sheds new light on critical terrorism and critical security studies in a key postcolonial context.
