Summary: "This book offers an account of ecological and infrastructural transformations in Turkey's expansive swamps and marshes against the backdrop of authoritarian rule and the rise of wetland conservation science. Here, wetlands become an important site of everyday contestation for human and non-human livelihoods in a time of uncertain politics and in precarious and rapidly changing environments. Scaramelli analyzes the epistemological and affective practices that produce non-humans as political subjects, bringing environmental history and the history of science into conversation with ethnographic writing and anthropological theory"-- Provided by publisher.
