Shared oil bounty is partitioned into class and racial segregation

Evidence

Thus the undifferentiated oil blessing becomes institutionalized as class distinction and racial segregation: nature’s unbounded bounty becomes incrementally bounded, privatized, partitioned. On the poor side of the wire, that bounty is reduced to the noises of luxury rising from the far side of the barricade and to the inner noise of yearning. — Rob Nixon, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism…, 233
