For generations Islamic and Western intellectuals and policymakers have debated Islams compatibility with democratic government, usually with few solid conclusions. But whereBrandon Kendhammer asks in this bookhave the voices of ordinary, workingclass Muslims been in this conversation? Doesnt the fate of democracy rest in their hands? Visiting with community members in northern Nigeria, he tells the complex story of the stunning return of democracy to a country that has also embraced Shariah law and endured the radical religious terrorism of Boko Haram.Kendhammer argues that despite Nigerias struggles with jihadist insurgency, its recent history is really one of tenuous and fragile reconciliation between mass democratic aspirations and concerted popular efforts to preserve Islamic values in government and law. Combining an innovative analysis of Nigerias Islamic and political history with visits to the living rooms of working families, he sketches how this reconciliation has been constructed in the conversations, debates, and everyday experiences of Nigerian Muslims. In doing so, he uncovers valuable new lessonsones rooted in the real politics of ordinary lifefor how democracy might work alongside the legal recognition of Islamic values, a question that extends far beyond Nigeria and into the Muslim world at large.
