This book provides much-needed historical context to the recent rise of Boko Haram, which has terrorised northeastern Nigeria through the last six years. It particularly examines the links between Boko Haram and borderland phenomena -- especially slave-raiding, banditry, and smuggling -- in this region during the last millennium.
