Reviews

This book exposes the limits of a neo-colonial state whose governing elite is so individualistic and self-serving, that they abandon the common good. Allen's book is a worthy reminder that laws by themselves mean nothing outside ethics and values. I heartily recommend the book to all those concerned about the crisis of underdevelopment in Africa. - Professor Abubakar Momoh, Lagos State University Why is the Niger Delta one of the richest and yet one of the most polluted places on earth? Read this book. Feel the impunity. Understand the rage. Through this book, communities, government and oil companies should see where they stand in the murky waters of the Niger Delta. Everyone must decide whether to further muddy the waters or join the struggle for urgent, radical transformation. - Nnimmo Bassey, author of To Cook a Continent: Destructive Extraction and the Climate Crisis in Africa
