Active Voice Radio is a weekly 30-minute program aired on KSFR 90.7FM Santa Fe Public Radio. Featuring interviews, commentary and World Technology Update. This week:PART ONE of our interview with J. Timothy Hunt, the author of the new book "The Politics of Bones." In PART ONE, we explore the impact large oil companies are having in the Niger Delta though the story of Dr Owens Wiwa, the brother of one of Africa's most celebrated environmental activists Ken Wiwa. Owens was a "country doctor" in Nigeria until his brother was killed. This risk to himself and his family was so great they now live in Canada. Owens' story of documenting Petroleum Based injuries and deaths among the local population and his eventual flight from his home country are striking. The Politics of Bones gives us a rare insight into the African side of a global problem. Also our regular segment- WORLD TECHNOLOGY UPDATE with Mike Mossey.

CURRENT AFFAIRS & POLITICS
The Politics of Bones: Dr. Owens Wiwa and the Struggle for Nigeria's Oil
By J. Timothy Hunt
McClelland & Stewart, 389 pages, $36.99
This is a skillfully written book with many strands: the politics of development in an oil-rich nation; the local practices of large multinational companies; the colourful but often violent recent history of Africa's most populous nation; and a story of personal tragedy, flight and survival. The book focuses on Owens Wiwa and his wife, Diana. Wiwa was the brother of Ken Saro-Wiwa, charismatic leader of the Ogoni people, hanged by Sani Abacha's regime in 1995 on murky charges of political murder. — David M. Malone.
