For decades, studies of oil-related conflicts have focused on the effects of natural resource mismanagement, resulting in economic booms and busts or violence as rebels fight ruling governments over hydrocarbon resources. In Oil Sparks in the Amazon, Patricia Vásquez argues that the tension over oil in the Amazon has played out differently, in a way inextricable from the region itself. Oil disputes in the Amazon primarily involve local indigenous populations.
