Recenzje

'Elischer successfully achieves his goal of contributing to the debate surrounding state-society relations in areas of weak statehood … Elischer's work enhances the debate on jihadi Salafi mobilization and demobilization making it essential reading for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge on Salafism.' Michael Schuster, African Studies Quarterly
