In some, jihadi Salafi organizations have established home bases and turned into permanent security challengers. However, other countries have managed to prevent the formation or curb the spread of homegrown jihadi Salafi organizations. In this book, Sebastian Elischer provides a comparative analysis of how different West and East African states have engaged with fundamentalist Muslim groups between the 1950s and today. In doing so, he establishes a causal link between stateimposed organizational gatekeepers in the Islamic sphere and the absence of homegrown jihadi Salafism. Illustrating that the contemporary manifestation of violent Islamic extremism in sub-Saharan Africa is an outcome of strategic political decisions that are deeply embedded in countries' autocratic pasts, he challenges conventional notions of statehood on the African continent, and provides new insight into the evolving relationships between secular and religious authority"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Salafiyah $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Islamic fundamentalism $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Islam and politics $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Extremists $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Extremists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01740595 650 7 $a Islam and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979879 650 7 $a Islamic fundamentalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979941 650 7 $a Salafiyah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103729 651 7 $a Sub-Saharan Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 776 08 $i Online version: $a Elischer, Sebastian. $t Salafism and political order in Africa $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108690577 $w (DLC) 2021029124 830 0 $a African studies series ; $v 154. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17C67B62803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
