Through a dialectical relationship between the afterlife and continuity of war over distinct but conjoined landscapes, it examines industrial work, labouring, and statelessness on a frontier territory near the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS). By documenting the advance of the global steelmaking industry, the spread and erosion of selective state sovereignty, and the struggle of dispossessed workers, the book sketches the economic geography of a contemporary market expansion over the northeast of Iraq in a relational and dynamic way. Umut Kuruüzüm is Assistant Professor of cultural economics at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, who has been working on war economies, ruination, waste, recycling industries, and labor in thecontemporary Middle East. He is a London School of Economics (MSc, PhD) trained economic anthropologist, and he is currently leading a research project on plastic pollution, toxicity, and the inequalities of climate change on the north-eastern Mediterranean coast. .Political anthropologyEconomic anthropologyEthnologyEthnologyMiddle EastCultureEconomic developmentPolitical and Economic AnthropologyEthnographyMiddle Eastern CultureDevelopment StudiesPolitical anthropology.Economic anthropology.Ethnology.EthnologyCulture.Economic development.Political and Economic Anthropology.Ethnography.Middle Eastern Culture.Development Studies.338.476284458095672338.476284458095672Kuruüzüm Umut1236920MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910574074103321Building from Scrap2871672UNINA
