Reviews

This is a work of domestic divination. Using photography as a methodological instrument Subversive Mothers, Disturbing Domesticity takes us into a realm where chaos and dirt can reveal patterns of meaning, and pristine order can signal the deployment of power. Lyrical, politically astute, aesthetically profound, Clare Gallagher’s book is always deeply humane. I will never look at a paper towel in the same way again. -- Ben Highmore, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies, University of Sussex, UK
