Corporate Territorialization --Conclusion: Converging Shores --Notes --Bibliography --IndexAfter decades of civil war and instability, the African country of Angola is experiencing a spectacular economic boom thanks to its most valuable natural resource: oil. But oil extraction--both on- and offshore--is a toxic remedy for the country's economic ills, with devastating effects on both the environment and traditional livelihoods. Focusing on the everyday realities of people living in the extraction zones, Kristin Reed explores the exclusion, degradation, and violence that are the fruits of petrocapitalism in Angola.Global, area, and international archive.Petroleum industry and tradeAngolaPetroleum industry and tradeGovernment policyAngolaPetroleum industry and tradeSocial aspectsAngolaPetroleum industry and tradeEnvironmental aspectsAngolaPolitical violenceAngolaAngolaPolitics and government1975-AngolaEconomic conditions1975-AngolaSocial conditionsafrica.angola.civil war.crude oil.degradation.economic boom.economic issues.environmental impact of oil.environmental policies.environmental science.environmentalists.exclusion.extraction zones.global economy.modern africa.money and power.national instability.natural resources.nonfiction.northern angola.offshore oil.oil boom.oil extraction.oil policies.oil politics.petrocapitalism.regional economy.scientists.traditional livelihoods.violence.Petroleum industry and tradePetroleum industry and tradeGovernment policyPetroleum industry and tradeSocial aspectsPetroleum industry and tradeEnvironmental aspectsPolitical violence967.304/2Reed Kristin1977-1619928MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823514103321Crude existence3986263UNINA
