Laura Robson

Politics of Mass Violence in the Middle East

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Laura Robson examines the interactions between international and regional political economies of oil and water, and the increasingly explicit colonial and postcolonial politics of ethno-national identity centered around the question of Palestine, arguing that the Middle East's emergence as a 'zone of violence' only developed over the past century.
