Political Violence and Oil in AfricaThe Case of Nigeria /[electronic resource] :by Zainab Ladan Mai-Bornu. - 1st ed. 2020. - XXIV, 253 p.online resource.

1. Introduction -- 2. Theoretical and Conceptual Underpinnings of Conflict -- 3. The Nigerian Niger Delta -- 4. Historical narratives of the Ogoni and Ijaw -- 5. The Nature of Leadership within the Ogoni and Ijaw Movements -- 6. Organising the Nonviolent and Violent Struggles — The Ogoni and Ijaw -- 7. Conclusion.

The book argues that in order to better understand the undercurrents of the Niger Delta conflict, it is imperative to analyse the dynamics of choice in terms of the distinct courses of action taken by the Ogoni and Ijaw. Given the similar structural constraints, the author considers why the Ogoni adopted nonviolent resistance, and the Ijaw violent resistance. This book is divided into seven chapters starting with an introduction to oil and political violence in African conflicts, and includes a synoptic overview of four other resource-rich countries in Africa. Theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of conflict are then presented with the aim of situating the Niger Delta conflicts within the wider conflict literature. Chapter Three concentrates the discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta, outlining the core issues at the centre of the contestations. The following three chapters offer an in-depth empirical analysis on the interaction between the narratives on nonviolence versus violence, the nature of leadership styles, and the organisation of the Ogoni and Ijaw movements along with a concluding chapter. Zainab Ladan Mai-Bornu is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations (CTPSR) at Coventry University, UK. She held an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Social and Policy Sciences, University of Bath, UK. She is a Visiting Research Fellow of the Centre for Development Studies at Bath. Zainab has worked in the public sector in Nigeria.
