Reading against the grain of oil company archives, Mona Damluji reveals how wells, pipelines, pumping stations, and refineries were sites of cinematic production and exhibition, at once normalizing and challenging neocolonial extraction. Shining a light on cultural workers and labor movements, this book offers a distinctly humanistic lens on an otherwise dehumanizing petroleum industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mona Damluji\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520424301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520424302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mona Damluji","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962021073151,"sku":"9780520424302","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30d901bb-4962-4fc1-987b-9a92b2fafbcb.jpg?v=1750649076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pipeline-cinema-mona-damluji-9780520424302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
