Quranic Schools in Northern Nigeria: Everyday Experiences of Youth, Faith, and Poverty - The International African Library
Hoechner, Hannah (Universite Libre de Bruxelles)
An ethnographic study of Qur'anic schools in northern Nigeria that debunks stereotypes about such schools being recruitment grounds for Boko Haram and other violent groups.
