Territories of Poverty challenges the conventional North-South geographies through which poverty scholarship is organized. Staging theoretical interventions that traverse social histories of the American welfare state and critical ethnographies of international development regimes, these essays confront how poverty is constituted as a problem. In the process, the book analyzes bureaucracies of poverty, poor people's movements, and global networks of poverty expertise, as well as more intimate modes of poverty action such as volunteerism. From post-Katrina New Orleans to Korean church missions in Africa, this book is fundamentally concerned with how poverty is territorialized.In contrast to studies concerned with locations of poverty, Territories of Poverty engages with spatial technologies of power, be they community development and counterinsurgency during the American 1960s or the unceasing anticipation of war in Beirut. Within this territorial matrix, contributors uncover dissent, rupture, and mobilization. This book helps us understand the regulation of poverty- whether by globally circulating models of fast policy or vast webs of mobile money or philanthrocapitalist foundations-as multiple terrains of struggle for justice and social transformation.Contributors: Somaya Abdelgany, Vincanne Adams, Hiba Bou Akar, Teddy Cruz, Luis Flores, Alyosha Goldstein, Christina Gossmann, Akhil Gupta, Ju Hui Judy Han, Michael B.

The scale and reach of the global oil and gas industry, valued at several trillions of dollars, is almost impossible to grasp. Despite its vast technical expertise and scientific sophistication, the industry betrays a startling degree of inexactitude and empirical disagreement about foundational questions of quantity, output, and price. As an industry typified by concentrated economic and political power, its operations are obscured by secrecy and security. Perhaps it is not surprising, then, that the social sciences typically approach oil as a metonym--of modernity, money, geopolitics, violence, corruption, curse, ur-commodity--rather than considering the daily life of the industry itself and of the hydrocarbons around which it is built. Instead, Subterranean Estates gathers an interdisciplinary group of scholars and experts to provide a critical topography of the hydrocarbon industry, understood not solely as an assemblage of corporate forms but rather as an expansive and porous n Hannah Appel -- Black oil business : rogue pipelines, hydrocarbon dealers, and the economics of oil theft / Elizabeth Gelber -- The political economy of oil privatization in post-Soviet Kazakhstan / Saulesh Yessenova -- Carbon, convertibility, and the technopolitics of oil / Hannah Knox -- Events collectives : the social life of a promise-disappointment cycle / Arthur Mason -- Depletion and the science of oil prognostications in southern Arabia / Mandana E.

By accounting for oil as empirical and experiential, the contributors begin to demystify a commodity too often given almost demiurgic power. Subterranean Estates shifts critical attention away from an exclusive focus on global oil firms toward often overlooked aspects of the industry, including insurance, finance, law, and the role of consultants and community organizations. Based on ethnographic research from around the world (Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Oman, the United States, Ecuador, Chad, the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Canada, Iran, and Russia), and featuring a photoessay on the lived experiences of those who inhabit a universe populated by oil rigs, pipelines, and gas flares, this innovative volume provides a new perspective on the material, symbolic, cultural, and social meanings of this multidiAppel -- Black oil business : rogue pipelines, hydrocarbon dealers, and the economics of oil theft / Elizabeth Gelber -- The political economy of oil privatization in post-Soviet Kazakhstan / Saulesh Yessenova -- Carbon, convertibility, and the technopolitics of oil / Hannah Knox -- Events collectives : the social life of a promise-disappointment cycle / Arthur Mason -- Depletion and the science of oil prognostications in southern Arabia / Mandana E.
