It's a little known fact: The United States today imports more oil from Africa than from Saudi Arabia. More than $50 billion in foreign investment in African oil is expected over the next three years. Amy Goodman interviews John Ghazvinian, a journalist who has written for publications including Newsweek, The Nation and Time Out New York. His new book is called "Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil." The book compares the global competition for the continent's oil resources to the nineteenth century scramble for colonization.
