Publication day! The Injustice of Property is available from the great @ugapress.bsky.social. The book details how property in liberalism constrains common attempts at ending homelessness, despite land use practices of un/precariously housed people rejecting the proprietarian logic of liberalism.

Focusing on the Zonguldak basin during early republican Turkey, I argue that the resource-making of Zonguldak's coal reserves and state formation were dialectically linked. State elites leveraged coal reserves for state-building, while these efforts, in turn, shaped extraction policies/practices.
