Answer 1

We can see here that a short essay summarizing my selected nonfiction text is seen below:

"The Looting Machine" by Tom Burgis delves into the complex and often troubling dynamics surrounding the exploitation of Africa's resources by various entities, including warlords, corporations, oligarchs, and smugglers. The book sheds light on the systematic looting of Africa's wealth, detailing how natural resources such as oil, diamonds, minerals, and other commodities have fueled conflict, corruption, and inequality across the continent.

Burgis explores the interconnected web of interests and players involved in this exploitation, showcasing the complicity of international corporations, governments, and local elites in perpetuating the cycle of resource extraction, often at the expense of African populations. The text highlights the devastating impact of this exploitation on African societies, leading to economic disparity, environmental degradation, political instability, and social unrest.

My selected nonfiction text is:

"The Looting Machine" by Tom Burgis.
