( " Toilet opens the door to a profound and fascinating understanding of the way we use and are abused by public conveniences." )-(Howard S. Becker),(author of Outsiders: Studies In The Sociology Of Deviance ), "From colonial times to the present, Masons have always been central to community life in America. Mark Tabbert tells their story in a fresh and arresting way. . . . This informative and visually delightful book introduces us to a vital aspect of our nation's civic history." -Theda Skocpol,Harvard University, ( "Peeing is political. The authors of Toilet show us how. In provocative essays from a range of perspectives, we learn what toilets (and their lack) teach us--about hierarchy, inequality, the body, aesthetics and politics. Using toilets as social and cultural prisms, they analyze global collective (in)action, outlining the deeply personal consequences for us all. This is wickedly smart, pointed and passionate public interest scholarship at its best.." )-(Lisa Duggan),(author of Twilight of Equality: Neoliberalism, Cultural Politics and the Attack on Democracy ), ( "Who could have imagined? A book that weaves cutting edge gender theory into urban planning policy by way of the lowly toilet?
