'Challenging the `objective voice of reason' associated with academic writing, the editors suggest a need for new feminist approaches to lens-based practices on the part of artists and scholars.' The Burlington 'Home/Land: Women, Citizenship, Photographiesinterrogates the ways in which women both use and interpret photography in order to engage with histories, geographies and processes of representation related to home and land, with a particular focus on the concepts of women and citizenship. While the terms home and land are often linked together, their conjunction in the title signifies an increasingly fractured relationship. It is this disjuncture that the book seeks to explore.' Roberta McGrath, Visual Studies Reviews 'This book emerged from the Lens of Empowerment project, a highly creative and intellectual initiative consisting of an international research network and conference (2009-12). The project's engagements of lens-based power were inspired by photography's ubiquity and the artistic potential of passport photos, holiday Polaroids, advertising, and documentary film. The authors of Home/Land: Women, Citizenship, Photographies dispel the negative stereotypes ascribed to the figure of globalization by portraying the experiences of women who have confronted the settled, contested and lost conditions of home and nation.'
