Valuable for scholars of resource conflict, and necessary reading for anyone deeply researching oil politics." · Choice"Here is anthropology at its critical and relevant best. The ethnographic analyses expand important arguments in other disciplines (especially economics and political science) and demonstrate the valuable necessity of anthropological perspectives. Nothing could be more topical than the role of oil in contemporary global turmoil and "the crazy curse" that it casts over all manner of human endeavour and hope. "This book is chiefly valuable for the nuanced, in-depth reporting of the cases, especially the violent ones. The essays in this important book offe
It did not meet my expectations.. It discusses at length how the various types function in differing circumstances. It is good for both the Beatles, and for the fans, that Mark Lewisohn's forthcoming book will be THE honest, unbiased and impeccably researched account they have waited for.. 101 places to go to party, where to party when you get there (and where not), and anecdotes from people who've partied there before you.

Additionally they address topics that may initially appear insignificant – such as child witches and lionmen, fighting for oil when there is no oil, reindeer nomadism, community TV – but which turn out on closer scrutiny to be vital for explaining conflict and transformation in petro-states. Crude Domination does just this among more peoples and more places than any other volume. Its chapters investigate nuances of culture, politics and economics in Africa, Latin America, and Eurasia as they pertain to petroleum. They wrestle with the key questions vexing scholars and practitioners alike: problems of the economic blight of the resource curse, underdevelopment, democracy, violence and war. Based upon these rich, new worlds of information, the text formulates a novel, domination approach to the social analysis of oil.. While there have been numerous works about petroleum from 'experience-far' perspectives, there have been relatively few that have turned the 'experience-near' ethno
