  • サマリー

  • The World Was in Our Hands: Voices from the Boko Haram Conflict (Cassava Republic Press, 2025) is a moving, often provocative, and ultimately vital collection of first hand accounts of people living through the Boko Haram conflict. From abducted girls to brash soldiers, and from community leaders to simple fishermen, this collection provides an insight into the realities of those living through the conflict, making this an essential cultural archive. The World Was in Our Hands covers themes of patriarchy, the economy, climate change, and corruption, to paint a picture that is much broader than what has been captured through news coverage. Out April 22! Chitra Nagarajan is an activist, researcher and writer. She has spent the last 15 years working to analyse conflict, build peace, and promote and protect human rights, particularly in West Africa, and is involved in feminist, anti-racist, anti-fundamentalist and queer movements.
