About this product
Product Information
This volume explores the ways petroleum as an industry and substance has moulded the social, cultural and artistic life of the Middle East. Rather than tackle the powers of this crucial resource from the perspective of macro-economics, impersonal rentier states and large corporations, this book 'brings oil back' into the ebbs and flows of Middle Eastern life. It focuses on the ways petroleum mediates and is mediated by national formations and imaginaries, visual practices, as well as scientific, business and artistic production. In focusing on the largest oil producing and exporting region in the world, this volume sheds light on the effects and affects of petroleum's presence within and beyond the oil-industry.

This groundbreaking collection of interdisciplinary essays is a major contribution to understanding the social life of oil in the Middle East. Rather than the usual and reductive focus on the geopolitics of oil or the impact of its financial revenues in enabling states and ruling elites, the contributors shed light on the many ways in which oil has shaped everyday social experience, covering topics from the ecology and the built environment of cities and nation states to the public imaginaries and the cultural and material lives of ordinary peoples. ?

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
