Picture
Against Western Education is a response to the 200 Nigerian women kidnapped by Boko Haram. I visited East Africa shortly after the kidnapping and engaged in dialogue with locals about the terrorist group. Gender is an important factor in Boko Haram’s tactics, ideology and violent actions*. The violence in Nigeria continues to go widely unreported in mainstream media in the United States.
