Reviews

""This is a wonderful book, full of ethnographic nuance and theoretical sophistication. Fırat Bozçalı shows how through forms of 'sly legality' Kurdish smugglers evade, frustrate, and subvert the Turkish state. An important and innovative read for all those interested in criminalization, borders, and political struggle in the Middle East and beyond."" —Tobias Kelly, University of Edinburgh ""Smuggling Law takes us into the courtrooms where Kurdish smugglers and lawyers challenge the national categories and boundaries that shape their lives. By bringing his vibrant ethnography of the Kurdish borderlands into conversation with indigenous studies, Fırat Bozçalı offers us a new way of thinking about how people not only resist nation-state borders but also evade and disrupt them."" —Rebecca Bryant, Utrecht University
