In Mobility, Mobilization, and Counter/Insurgency, Daniel Agbiboa takes African insurgencies back to their routes by providing a transdisciplinary perspective on the centrality of mobility to the strategies of insurgents, state security forces, and civilian populations caught in conflict. Drawing on one of the worlds deadliest insurgencies, the Boko Haram insurgency in northeast Nigeria and the Lake Chad region, this wellcrafted and richly nuanced intervention offers fresh insights into how violent extremist organizations exploit forms of local immobility and border porosity to mobilize new recruits, how the states war on terror mobilizes against socalled subversive mobilities, and how civilian populations in transit are treated as couldbe terrorists and subjected to extortion and statesanctioned violence en route. The multiple and intersecting flows analyzed here upend Eurocentric representations of movement in Africa as onesided, anarchic, and dangerous. Instead, this book underscores the contradictions of mobility in conflict zones as simultaneously a resource and a burden. Intellectually rigorous yet clear, engaging, and accessible, Mobility, Mobilization, and Counter/Insurgency is a seminal contribution that lays bare the neglected linkages between conflict and mobility.
