Many scholars see caregiving relationships as being based on mutual
dependency or interdependency. Extensively cited notions of the
'global care chain' or 'international division of reproductive
labour' have prepared the ground for analysis of global
interdependencies in several domains. This book goes further by
taking mutual dependency as a starting point for analysing all
relationships. Using the example of Vietnamese families in the
Czech Republic and the Czech native nannies, it shows how paid
caregiving is contextualized in terms of various relationships
between three types of actors: employer-employee, caring for the
child, and mother-child. All of these ties are based on
ontologically different principles and each of them operates as a
piece of a puzzle, which is meaningful only in relation to each
other. SouralovA! considers caregiving to be a formative activity
that establishes ties between the concerned actors, whose
subjectivities are mutually shaped in the daily practice of
caregiving. With its stress on mutuality in care work, this
ground-breaking book illuminates the new forms of interpersonal,
interethnic, and intergenerational relationships and highlights the
mechanisms and processes in which kinship ties are negotiated and
reproduced.
