Despite extensive scholarship on the social and cultural history of industrial England there is little work that explores how new forms of capitalist production were understood and normalised. Capital and Labour in Victorian England explores how accounts of industrial society evolved in the 19th century and how they inspired reform movements designed to accommodate the conflicts and contradictions that were a feature of industrial capitalism. It traces the rise of capitalist utopianism in the mid-century, and how such visions fell apart in the face of industrial unrest, organised labour, and more aggressive forms of capitalism. By the end of the century capital and labour were seen as inevitably separate, distinct and opposed - a development that sharpened class politics and shaped the way the first accounts of industrialisation were written.

Teen Tribe is a series of intimate portraits of Martine Fougeron's two adolescent sons and their tribe of friends growingup in New York and France. Begun in 2004, Fougeron has followed the lives of her sons Nicolas and Adrien from theages of thirteen and fourteen respectively as they entered adulthood. The book pictures adolescence as a transformativestate, caught between childhood and adulthood, between the feminine and masculine, between innocence andburgeoning self-identity.

Inspired byDutch paintings of domestic scenes particularly those of Vermeer, as well as by cinematic compositions, Fougeron'swork is both a sensual biography of two boys, and a depiction of the universal process of growing up to which all canrelate.Martine Fougeron was born in Paris in 1954 and studied at Wellesley College and l'Institut d'Études Politiques deParis. For the past fourteen years she has lived with her two sons in New York.
