The development of Africa's oil has greatly accelerated in recent
years, with some countries looking at the prospect of almost
unimaginable flows of money into their national budgets. But the
story of African oil has usually been associated with conflict,
corruption and disaster, with older producers such as Nigeria
having little to show for the many billions of dollars they've
earned. In this eye-opening book, former BBC correspondent Celeste
Hicks questions the inevitability of the so-called resource curse,
revealing what the discovery of oil means for ordinary Africans,
and how China's involvement could mean a profound change in
Africa's relationship with the West. A much-needed account of an
issue that will likely transform the fortunes of a number of
African countries - for better or for worse.
