Radicalization has become a word for our world in negative colors. This book seeks to understand what is radicalization in the Sahel and in the Netherlands? Is it only negative? What diversity of social and political processes lies behind this concept? The biographies of people reveal to us the hidden messages in these kinds of dynamics. Is there deep down a desire for social change? As many questions raised, answered, (partially) answered, and as many others as the reading of these collections of texts as diverse as they are interesting, will not fail to arouse the contemporary reader.

This book offers a series of new studies on the dynamics of political and legal culture as well as of conflict management in contemporary Africa, taking inspiration from and honoring the scholarly contributions and impact of Prof. Gerti Hesseling (1946-2009) in African Studies.

One response to these developments has been increased migration, which poses further challenges to kinship-based social support systems. This innovative volume focuses on the ambiguous role of religious networks in social security and traces the interrelatedness of religious networks and state and family support systems. Particularly timely, it describes these challenges as well as social security arrangements in the context of globalization and migration. The wide range of case studies from various parts of the world that examine various religious groups offers an important comparative contribution to the understanding of religious networks as providers of social security
