Omolade Adunbi investigates the myths behind competing claims to
oil wealth in Nigeria's Niger Delta. Looking at ownership of
natural resources, oil extraction practices, government control
over oil resources, and discourse about oil, Adunbi shows how
symbolic claims have created an "oil citizenship." He explores the
ways NGOs, militant groups, and community organizers invoke an
ancestral promise to defend land disputes, justify disruptive
actions, or organize against oil corporations. Policies to control
the abundant resources have increased contestations over wealth,
transformed the relationship of people to their environment, and
produced unique forms of power, governance, and belonging.
