Reviews

A remarkable achievement of theoretical and archival rigour, this book changes how we understand the gendered regulation of bodies in the early twentieth century, fundamentally refiguring our sense of the biopolitical. --Karl Schoonover, University of Warwick Encyclopaedically digesting medical historical, literary, psychoanalytic, social theoretical, economic and political materials, Walton offers a wonderfully rich and nourishing theory of metabolic processes, both within and beyond the human gut. Through brilliant close readings and careful broader conceptual work, Dissident Gut tracks the compelling ins and outs of the faecal biopolitics that run through modernity's management of time and space. --Laura Salisbury, University of Exeter
