Labor, State and Capital in Nigeria's Oil IndustryBased on extensive observation and open-ended questionnaires, reveals how Nigerian oil workers devise and execute overt and covert survival strategies against a very formidable alliance between a state almost totally dependent on oil rents, and oil corporations whose main operational motivation is the maximization of profit and control of the market. Also offers insights into the structure and struggles of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, and its relations with other political constituencies in the country.
