title = "On Lines and Fences: Labour, Community and Violence in an Oil City",
abstract = "In December 1942, unrest broke out in Abadan, arguably Iran{\textquoteright}s first modern industrial city and home to the world{\textquoteright}s biggest oil refinery. Two scuffles in the bazaar provoked Iranians from the Ahmadabad neighbourhood to attack Indian labourers in the {\textquoteleft}Indian Lines{\textquoteright} of the Bahma(n)shir neighbourhood. Although not as bloody or widespread as more well-studied occurrences of unrest in Abadan, I will argue that this {\textquoteleft}Bahmashir Incident{\textquoteright} is an important case that can aid in understanding the interconnectedness of oil, space and violence.
