Listen to Ed Kashi on NPR’s Weekend Edition. He talks with interviewer Liane Hansen about Curse of the Black Gold, a book he co-authored, that “examines the relationship between oil, the environment and the community in Nigeria in the 50 years since oil was discovered there.”
Because the United States imports a sizable amount of oil from Nigeria, he says, all Americans are consumers of Nigerian energy.
'It's important that we understand that connection,' Kashi says. 'I feel the days are gone in this world when we can just blithely ignore these kinds of connections because what I see from traveling around the world … is that it's unsustainable. What's happening in the world today is unsustainable.' – from NPR website
