Synopsis

What do our attitudes to dirt and cleanliness tell us about ourselves and the societies we live in? Exploring a variety of settings - domestic, urban, suburban and rural, this title exposes how our ideas about dirt are intimately bound up with issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality and the body.
