The notion of care seems simple enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding, nursing, assisting, and loving human beings. It is \u003cem\u003ethe work that makes all other work possible\u003c\/em\u003e. However, as historian Premilla Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives and our economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNadasen traces the rise of the care economy, from its roots in slavery, where there was no clear division between production and social reproduction, to the present care crisis, experienced acutely by more and more Americans. Today's care economy, Nadasen shows, is an institutionalised, hierarchical system in which some people's pain translates into other people's profit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet this is also a story of resistance. Low-wage workers, immigrants, and women of colour in movements from Wages for Housework and Welfare Rights to the Movement for Black Lives have continued to fight for and practise collective care. These groups help us envision how, given the challenges before us, we can create a caring world as part of a radical future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46997968519404,"sku":"9781642599664","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22986763482772.jpg?v=1763201383"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/premilla-nadasen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
