Ryan Jobson, Neubauer Family Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The University of Chicago, examines how the rise and fall of the oil industry impacts post-colonial nationalist visions of the future in Trinidad and Tobago. Jobson asks us to consider if there can be a viable political and economic future for Trinidad and Tobago without oil, a question that should be relevant to us all living in a fossil fuel based global economy.
