The 'Other' Side of the Kitchen

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"Scicluna's richly ethnographic study of older lesbians' experiences of kitchens [...] takes the reader through the intricacies of the politics of gender relations and sexuality by focusing on a key domestic space in which they are played out, and sometimes fought out, on a daily basis." -Sarah Green, University of Helsinki, Finland

"The scrupulous attention to detail and emergent analysis reveal that the taken for granted has powerful potential for exposing hitherto hidden political, personal issues." -Judith Okely, University of Oxford, UK

"This 'back story' of lesbian life has been missing from studies of political and social organizing [and is] a very welcome addition to the growing literature on daily life, material culture, and aging." -Ellen Lewin, University of Iowa, USA
