Description

Oil Wealth and Insurgency in Nigeria by Omolade Adunbi explores the complex relationships between oil wealth, government control, and local communities in Nigeria's Niger Delta. The author examines how competing claims to oil resources have led to the creation of an "oil citizenship," where symbolic claims are used to justify actions and organize against oil corporations. This has resulted in increased contestations over wealth, transformed relationships with the environment, and produced unique forms of power, governance, and belonging. Through a nuanced analysis, Adunbi sheds light on the ways in which policies to control oil resources have shaped local politics and identity.
