Abstract
The period between 1890 to 1980 marked Venezuela’s rapid insertion into the vortex of oil extraction. Venezuela’s political and cultural discourses built around oil rendered invisible other cultures nurtured around the extraction and commodification of nature. During most of the twentieth century, they unfolded a political ecology that challenged and intermingled with the underlying logic of a fossil-fueled future.
