Reviews

In this spatially attuned and timely collection, editor Lisa Binkley brings together vital and diverse voices to disrupt concepts of “home” from perspectives of the colonial periphery. Unlike studies that remain rooted in western ideals of home as haven, even as it critiques them, this book reimagines violence and unhomeliness as commonplace inhabitants of domestic space, and, in doing so, fundamentally upturns histories of settlement, exploration, art and nation. Centering Indigenous experiences, gender relations and different kinds of home-sense, Dwelling on the Margins is set to reignite scholarship in the field. * Laura Cameron, Professor of Geography, Queen's University, Canada *
