Laleh Khalili's latest manuscript, The Corporeal Life of Seafaring (2024), gives breath to the complex and hidden life of seafaring. Khalili provides a vivid account of the lives of seafarers who power the vast global trade network, typically hidden from land-based consumers. The researcher embarked on two voyages, twenty months apart, aboard different CMA CGM ships travelling from Malta to Jabal Ali, Dubai. Using a mix of ethnographic notes, photographs, interviews, and archival materials, Khalili reveals the living conditions aboard these cargo ships.
