This collection of newspaper columns and articles mostly written in
the 1970s and 1980s perhaps provides the best overview of
Saro-Wiwa's political and environmental concerns. The articles
document his concerns about the fate of the Ogoni people and their
mistreatment by multinational oil companies and collaborating
Nigerian government. Saro-Wiwa argues that the Ogoni are a minority
in Nigeria, exploited by the ruling ethnic majority, and that the
Federal Government of Nigeria was threatening the Ogoni with
genocide. At the time, this was a key publication in bringing the
Ogoni tragedy to the attention of the international community.
Nowadays, it is of continual relevance to present day concerns
about the actions of the oil companies, indigenous and
environmental rights in the Delta region.
