The Drilling Fields transcript of the documentary by One
World Broadcasting Trust that was first shown on Channel
4 in London on May 23, 1994 was found at http://stephen.richards.net/Ogoni_Pages/og04.html. Sounds like a great documentary to find.
Ken Saro-Wiwa Literary Analysis at http://landow.stg.brown.edu/post/sarowiwa/sarowiwaov.html was part of a comprehensive
project by Brown University on Post-Colonial and Post-Imperial Literature. It had good descriptions of writings, but watch
facts. It said Saro-Wiwa died in 1996.
Ken Saro-Wiwa’s Final Statement before the Military Tribunal at http://www.greenpeace.org/~comms/ken/state.html
You can read the text of his final statement before the Military
Tribunal that sentenced him to death.
“Shell Oil and Environmental Devastation of Nigeria” at www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Environment/ShellNigeria_environ.html
had some good facts on oil in the Ogoniland but their homepage and the links are what
is impressive and useful for activist information.
Shell Nigeria at www.shellnigeria.com
was a good site for the maps and the corporate perspective.
“Tin Mining Wreaks Havoc in ‘Beautiful’ Nigerian City” at
www.oneworld.org/panos/news/32MAR99.HTM
was an interesting article that helped me to understand the effects of mining in Nigeria.
The www.oneworld.net site is a
great site for activist literature from around the globe.
