Reviews
Photographs did much more than take on representations of women in 1970s Britain, which Na'ama Klorman-Eraqi demonstrates in her valuable contribution to feminist historiography. As a form of countermedia, feminist photography disrupted conventions of artistic production and display, illuminated power dynamics in public and private space, complicated theoretical debates, and framed a growing social movement identity. With attention to the street, the home, the museum, the media, and the government, this book offers an engaging, interdisciplinary account of aesthetics in politics that will undoubtedly appeal to scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts.

In The Visual is Political Na'ama Klorman-Eraqi brings together a number of important debates concerning the politics of representation in the 1970s and 1980s. Her lucid analysis and wide-ranging themes bring the feminist investments of artists and photographers in Britain to life. This is a timely and important book, which synthesizes information of a number of practices that have so far been peripheral to the history of art. The Visual is Political will surely put these debates back into the spotlight.
