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 conditionsPetroleum industry and tradePetroleum industry and tradeGovernment policyPetroleum industry and tradeSocial aspectsPetroleum industry and tradeEnvironmental aspectsPolitical violence967.304/2Reed Kristin1977-1872395MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959285003321Crude existence4550787UNINA
