Book Synopsis
Studies how oil has shaped the societies and cultures of the modern and contemporary Middle East.

Trade Review
"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. ?" -Kaveh Ehsani, DePaul University
