Omschrijving
This book argues that the concept of care is a political and a moral concept. It enables us to examine moral and political life through a radically different lens. It is argued that care has the potential to interrogate relationships of power and to be a tool for radical political analysis for an emerging critical social work.
'This welcome incisive critical analysis of state-of-the-art knowledge surrounding the ethics of care in social work and related disciplines takes care out of the home and into the community, embedding it in power-defined social relations and the intersecting injustices that impact on everyday life. Its editors and contributors have made a welcome contribution to ethical and political theory in critical social work' – Mel Gray, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
