N2 - We live in an age of bewildering demands and senses of obligation to engage with environmental matters. All manner of things from voting and publicly demonstrating to sorting our recycling and fretting over dietary choices are flagged as appropriate or necessary actions among the environmentally concerned—if increasingly beleaguered—citizens we are all presumed to be. A new and accessible book steps into this space, laying out a foundation for future work on domestic environmental labour as critiqued from an ecofeminist perspective. Sitting at the intersection of the more familiar research topics of domestic labour, sociotechnical analyses of sustainability, and environmental consumerism, domestic environmental labour is ripe for academic interrogation, as this compact and provocative text states.
