Waste Siege
The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine
Book • 2019
In *Waste Siege*, Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins examines the complex relationship between infrastructure, waste, and the lived experiences of Palestinians under occupation.
The book challenges conventional anthropological understandings of waste, arguing that under conditions of occupation, waste becomes a potent symbol of dispossession and power dynamics.
Stamatopoulou-Robbins's ethnographic research reveals how the management (or mismanagement) of waste reflects broader political and social structures.
The book's interdisciplinary approach combines anthropological insights with critical analyses of environmental issues and political economy.
*Waste Siege* has received significant recognition for its innovative approach and contribution to the field.
