Charlottesville–Right Now: Author John Ghazvinian’s Essay about Oil Drilling in Nigeria – “The Curse of Oil”

John Ghazvinian holds a Doctorate in History from Oxford University, and recently wrote an essay called “The Curse of Oil” for the Virginia Quarterly Review. On this January 12th edition of Charlottesville–Right Now with Coy Barefoot, he discusses his essay – an eye-opening account of the “Politics of African Oil” in the Niger Delta. It explains the truth about oil drilling in Nigeria, and the incredibly disproportionate distribution of wealth. The essay is just a segment from a book Ghazvinian is releasing in April of this year, called “Untapped: The Scramble for Africa’s Oil.” The VQR’s editor, Ted Genoways, will be a guest later this week on Charlottesville–Right Now to discuss the article further.
