"Garey and Hansen have assembled a stunning collection of studies
on the emotional and logistical dynamics of coordinating paid and
unpaid work. A must read."-Stephanie Coontz, author of A Strange
Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of
the 1960s At the Heart of Work and Family presents original
research on those topics by scholars who engage and build on the
conceptual framework developed by the well-known sociologist Arlie
Russell Hochschild. These concepts, such as "the second shift,"
"the economy of gratitude," "emotion work," "feeling rules,"
"gender strategies," and "the time bind," are basic to sociology
and have shaped both popular discussions and academic study. The
common thread in these essays covering the gender division of
housework, childcare networks, families in the global economy, and
children of consumers is the incorporation of emotion, feelings,
and meaning into the study of working families. These examinations,
like Hochschild's own work, connect microlevel interaction to
larger social and economic forces and illustrate the continued
relevance of linking economic relations to emotional ones for
understanding contemporary work-family life. Anita Ilta Garey is an
associate professor of human development and family studies and of
sociology at the University of Connecticut. Her book Weaving Work
and Motherhood received the 2000 William J. Goode Book Award. Karen
V. Hansen is a professor of sociology and women's and gender
studies at Brandeis University. Her books include Not-So-Nuclear
Families: Class, Gender, and Networks of Care (Rutgers University
Press), which received the William J. Goode Book Award, Honorable
Mention. A volume in the Families in Focus series, edited by Anita
Ilta Garey, Naomi R. Gerstel, Karen V. Hansen, Rosanna Hertz, and
Margaret K. Nelson
