Today's home has become a kind of fortress that says as much about
our need for privacy as it does about ensuring our security.
Fortress homes, gated communities and elaborate defensive systems
have become everyday features of urban life today, highlighting the
depth of fear as well as desire for prestige and social display.
Domestic Fortress offers a fresh analysis of our homes, our demands
for security and anxieties about invasion, loss and finding
seclusion in a worrying and divided world. As industries and
politicians raise our fears further, Domestic Fortress considers
why gating and fortress designs, beloved of celebrities and the
super-rich, have become the ordinary feature of societies affected
by rising social inequalities, the exclusion of strangers and
constant anticipation of disaster and loss in our daily lives.
Using a rich range of sources from cutting-edge research to media
accounts, Domestic Fortress considers the fantasies and realities
of dangers to the contemporary home and its inhabitants and details
the extreme measures now used in the pursuit of total safety. -- .
