Reviews

""Featuring rich empirical work and detailed analysis, Earthmoving is an important contribution to violence/trauma studies and of political geology. Eray Çaylı presents a rich array of material for his arguments, providing a clear direction to how to think about the intervention of the visual in the making of geophysical worlds. Among this material, Çaylı introduces the reader to underrepresented and visually engaging art projects, which themselves deserve bigger audiences. Earthmoving is undoubtedly a crucial pedagogical tool for reimagining agency in the recursive construction site of extraction and its political terrain."" - Kathryn Yusoff, Queen Mary University of London, author of Geologic Life: Inhuman Intimacies and the Geophysics of Race.
