Description
Chittagong by Cameron Conaway is a book of poems and essays that focuses on the shipbreaking industry in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Shipbreaking is the dismantling of decommissioned ships, and the industry is known for its pollution and child labor violations. The result of a collision between travel writing, contemporary poetics and bearing witness, Chittagong pushes genre boundaries as it explores the “whirling and whirring dust of togetherness” in Bangladesh’s second largest city.
