Home/Land: Women, Citizenship, Photographies is an extensive compendium
of texts and images, combining scholarly, creative and critical writing
on photography with new work in photography. The contributions to the
compendium range from academic essays on fine art and documentary
photographies to photo-essays, community-based and pedagogical
photographic projects, personal testimonies, creative writing, activist
interventions and accounts of participatory action research using
photography.
Home/Land is global in its reach, exploring women's lives in Britain and
other European nations, the United States, Canada, the Middle East,
South Africa, Asia and Australia. Bringing together texts and images
produced by an international group of feminist scholars, activists,
artists and educators, the book demonstrates how women have used
photographic practices to find places for themselves as citizens,
denizens, exiles or guests, within or beyond the nation as currently
conceived, and, in so doing, how they actively produce new and different
forms of identity, community and belonging.
