Abstract

This article responds to Will Reno’s review of my book, Unmasking Boko Haram: Exploring Global Jihad in Nigeria, in issue 32, 1, 2021 of Small Wars and Insurgencies by examining source validity, analytical frameworks, and international networks related to Boko Haram and jihadism more generally. The purpose of the book was to provide a more ‘panoramic view’ of Boko Haram’s emergence and evolution based on original research and newly introduced sources. However, Reno’s review included several inaccuracies and raised issues that warrant this rejoinder and further explication, which is provided in this article. It is hoped this article responding to Reno’s review and any subsequent counter-responses by Reno will contribute to debates on Boko Haram to better understand the movement and its history and future trajectory. This, in turn, will facilitate policy-making and developing measures to prevent other movements similar to Boko Haram from emerging in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.
