Description

The latest issue of Race & Class focuses on Crime and Punishment. 

Twenty years ago, when the Ogoni people, led by Ken Saro-Wiwa, stood up against the depredations of Shell in their homeland, the Nigerian military dictatorship delivered the ultimate punishment – the death penalty. Victoria Brittain examines here in ‘A hero for our times’ (which is accompanied by excerpts from his writings) the enduring legacy of Saro-Wiwa’s supposed heinous crime – to speak out against ecological destruction.
