520 $a"In Rage and Carnage in the Name of God Abiodun Alao interrogates how Nigeria's three main religions (Christianity, Islam and traditional religions) have been associated with violence in post-independence Nigeria, and how the violence has affected the inter-group relations in the country. While most recent books on the subject focus on Boko Haram, Rage and Carnage in the Name of God avoids concentrating on a phenomenon-specific subject or quasi-ethnographic cases in order to look at broader themes on religion's connection with violence in post-independence Nigeria. Alao traces the evolution of the religions and their connections with the Nigerian society. There are also discussions on how the various conflicts generated by religion have intertwined with national politics, the economic ramifications of the violence, and the ways through which global politics has keyed into the various manifestations"--$cProvided by publisher.
