Resurgency

"Resurgency tells a story that cries out to be heard. Rubaii's warm and engaging narrative voice alongside her eye for horrifying and humanizing details make this not only a courageous ethnography and an important contribution to anthropological theory, but also a vital offering to public culture and democratic debate. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Middle East."-Hugh Gusterson, co-editor of, Militarization: A Reader "A remarkable ethnography. Kali Rubaii sheds light on the protracted impacts of war and occupation on the peoples, livelihoods, landscapes, and plants and other non-human species in Iraq-and, by implication, the world over. This important, timely, and richly evocative book offers distinctive concepts and framings that will surely be adopted by other anthropologists writing about genocide, ecocide, and corporate plunder."-Nathalie Peutz, New York University-Abu Dhabi
