| Summary: | Eric Morier-Genoud, Towards Jihad? Muslims and Politics in Postcolonial Mozambique (London: Hurst & Co, 2023), 240 pp., ISBN: 9781805260431 This is a collection of previously published articles addressing the relationship between the post-colonial state under the Frelimo government and Muslims of Mozambique. The book aims at understanding the state's policies towards religion and secularity, the formation of Muslim elites and counter-elites, and inter-religious and inter-Muslim competition and conflicts between 1975 and 2022. The last chapter of the book attempts to provide a historical interpretation for the origins and evolution of the current jihadi insurgency in Cabo Delgado. |
