| Abstract: | Following a wave of oil discoveries in Africa, the book offers new perspectives and critical reflections on the prevalent academic discourses on oil in Africa. This collection brings together researchers from the social sciences to challenge simplified readings of the complex realities of oil politics, economies and societies through theoretical critique and 'on the ground' ethnographic methods. Climate change highlights the need to understand the intricate ways societies are built on and for oil energy. This book analyses the effects of oil production and the global energy structure, offering relevant insights and avenues for future research on oil. |
