How do we measure and truly grasp the sweeping social and
environmental effects of an oil-based economy? Focusing on the
special economic zones resulting from China's trading partnership
with Nigeria, Enclaves of Exception offers a new approach to
exploring the relationship between oil and technologies of
extraction and their interrelatedness to local livelihoods and
environmental practices. In this groundbreaking work, Omolade
Adunbi argues that even though the exploitation of oil resources is
dominated by big corporations, it establishes opportunities for
many former Nigerian insurgents and their local communities to
contest the ownership of such resources in the oil-rich Niger Delta
and to extract oil themselves and sell it. Based on extensive
ethnographic fieldwork, Enclaves of Exception makes clear that,
although both the free trade zones and the now booming local
artisanal refineries share the goals of profit-making and are
enthusiastically supported by those benefiting from them
economically, they have yielded dramatically the same environmental
outcome for communities around them that included pollution with
precarious effects on the health of the populations in the regions,
and displacement of population from their livelihood practices.
