Acknowledgments

Thank you to Gill Berchowitz of Ohio University Press for her tireless support and encouragement of this project. We also thank the two anonymous reviewers for their feedback and suggestions. Over the years, we have both accumulated substantial debts in the form of support and encouragement, and we cannot thank everyone here. Nonetheless, we wish to especially acknowledge Cornell University’s Institute for Africa Development, the University of Vermont Rakin Lecture series, and the Northwestern University Nollywood Working Group, who hosted presentations of this work in draft form. We are also grateful to Philip Ostien, who provided invaluable primary sources on Boko Haram’s early days, and to the communities of Kannywood filmmakers and Jos-based music video producers who were generous with their work responding to and influenced by the conflict. We dedicate this book to the lives of all of Boko Haram’s victims, and to the remarkable courage of so many Nigerians affected by its violence.
