Curse of the Black Gold: 50 years of oil in the Niger Delta

Posted by liveBooks

The generous contribution by liveBooks of a website for my Curse of the Black Gold project enabled me to not only aggregate all the information for outreach, education, press and my work, but it also taught me the power of what a great website can do for my advocacy work. By allowing me to point activists, educators, students and other professionals to one site, rich with creative content and useful information, the impact of my project was propelled to another dimension.

Curse of the Black Gold: 50 years of oil in the Niger Delta takes a graphic look at the profound cost of oil exploitation in West Africa. Featuring images by world-renowned photojournalist Ed Kashi and text by University of California at Berkeley professor Michael Watts, this book traces the 50-year history of Nigeria’s interests and the resulting environmental degradation and community conflicts that have plagues the region.
