About the book

Examines the case of Islamic law in Nigeria through a comparative lens by probing the meaning of justice in Islamic, Jewish, Continental European and Anglo-American law and by contrasting Nigeria's experience of sharia law with the versions practised in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sudan. Islamic Law and Politics in Northern Nigeria examines these legal and political issues from a long-term perspective, thereby acquainting the reader with the essentially uninterrupted application of Islamic law.
