An Evaluation of Toyin Falola’s Violence in Nigeria: The Crisis of Religious Politics and Secular Ideologies

Öz

This review examines a work that interrogates the persistence of violence in Africa through the lens of secular ideology and its political limitations. The book argues that postcolonial African states inherited secular governance models that presumed religion, ethnicity, and traditional authority would gradually retreat from public life. Instead, these identities have remained central, shaping political legitimacy and patterns of conflict. By challenging the neutrality and universality often attributed to secularism, the author exposes how these frameworks—historically rooted in colonial imposition—struggle to resonate with the moral and cultural realities of African societies. The book’s contribution lies in its holistic analysis of how historical legacies, structural inequalities, and contested forms of authority interact to sustain violence. This review evaluates the book’s central arguments, methodological approach, and contribution to wider debates on governance, peacebuilding, and the future of secular politics in Africa and beyond.
