Subjects Boko Haram.   Women -- Abuse of -- Nigeria.   Islamic fundamentalism -- Nigeria.   Terrorism -- Nigeria. ISBN:  0997126469 9780997126464 (paperback) : Description:  123 pages : map ; 19 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Acclaimed novelist Helon Habila, who grew up in northern Nigeria, returned to Chibok and gained intimate access to the families of the kidnapped to offer a devastating account of a tragedy that stunned the world. With compassion and a deep understanding of the historical context, Habila tells the stories of the girls and the anguish of their parents; chronicles the rise of Boko Haram and the Nigerian government's inept response; and captures the indifference of the media and the international community whose attention has long moved on. Employing a fiction writer's sensibility and a journalist's curiosity, The Chibok Girls provides poignant portraits of everyday Nigerians whose lives have been transformed by extremist forces. Habila illuminates the long history of colonialism--and unmasks cultural and religious dynamics--that gave rise to the conflicts that have ravaged the region to this day."--Publisher's description   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.32509 Ha Missing Inventory Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.32509 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
