Labor, State and Capital in Nigeria's Oil Industry
1998 0-7734-9842-7

It reveals how oil workers devise and execute survival strategies against a very formidable alliance of a state which is almost totally dependent on oil rents, and oil corporations whose main operational motivation is the maximization of profits and control of the market.
