Description

While the Boko Haram conflicthas reached a certain level of culturation saturation, what is known about theconflict remains patchy.

This collection, featuring interviews with 47 peopleof all genders, ages and a variety of religious backgrounds, foregrounds therealities of those who are living through the conflict and presenting thehumanity of all concerned.  Even as theydiscuss the conflict, their narratives also reflect realities beyond violence,making this an essential cultural archive.

From age hierarchies and the cultureof deference to elders to high levels of gender inequality and gender-basedviolence; from frustrations with government to unhappiness at community leaderswho are seen as corrupt, politicised, and uncaring; and from the links andconnections between people across national boundaries to how people mobilise tosupport one another, often at great personal danger.
