Free Kindle Oil Wealth And Insurgency In Nigeria ebooks Download
Omolade Adunbi investigates the myths behind competing claims to oil wealth in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Looking at ownership of natural resources, oil extraction practices, government control over oil resources, and discourse about oil, Adunbi shows how symbolic claims have created an "oil citizenship." He explores the ways NGOs, militant groups, and community organizers invoke an ancestral promise to defend land disputes, justify disruptive actions, or organize against oil corporations. Policies to control the abundant resources have increased contestations over wealth, transformed the relationship of people to their environment, and produced unique forms of power, governance, and belonging.

This is a unique insight into the lesser known aspects of the Niger Delta conflict. The author uses the perspective of the rebel belligerents to outline the anthropological and political aspects within the oil rich state of Nigeria. The book covers the struggle of the government, NGO's, and local advocacy groups struggling to gain the perception of legitimacy for claims to oil generated revenues. The book also highlights the ecological and social impacts that come with oil windfalls. I recommend this book to anyone looking to understand the outcomes of resource mismanagement in rising nations, terrorism, and African anthropology.
A very informative, illuminating read
