The Islamist Challenge and Africa explores Islamist militancy in Africa south of the Sahara, perhaps the most dangerous region in the world today. It examines Islamist militancy's longstanding presence among Africans, its distinct ideological features and ways to minimize if not eliminate its violence. It warns policy makers to abandon marginalizing Africa before it is too late.
