Paperback. Condition: New. Often referred to as the 'Oil Century,' the twentieth century marked the rise of petroleum as a pivotal force in global economics and politics. While many studies have explored the political relations between oil corporations and the Iranian state, this innovative book builds an intricate picture of the social history of petroleum in Iran, after its discovery there in 1908. Through expert interviews and on-the-ground reports, Touraj Atabaki shows the seismic impact of oil: from the building of roads to an influx of migrant labour. Offering insights into the lives and challenges of oil workers alongside analysis of wider geopolitical conflicts, Toiling for Oil traverses two world wars, industrialisation and modernisation, attempts at nationalisation in the 1950s and the political crises of the late 1970s. An essential read for anyone interested in Iran's unique position in the global economic landscape as oil continues to shape our world. Seller Inventory # LU-9781108993999

An essential read for anyone interested in Iran's unique position in the global economic landscape as oil continues to shape our world. The twentieth century has been widely recognised as the 'Oil Century' due to the escalating importance of oil in global economics and politics. This innovative study sheds light on the lives and challenges of the Iranian workers who consistently supply oil to our markets, adding a bottom-up social and cultural narrative to petroleum history.
