Care has been struggled for, resisted and celebrated. The failure
to care in 'care services' has been seen as a human rights problem
and evidence of malaise in contemporary society. But care has also
been implicated in the oppression of disabled people and demoted in
favour of choice in health and social care services. In this bold
wide ranging book Marian Barnes argues for care as an essential
value in private lives and public policies. She considers the
importance of care to well-being and social justice and applies
insights from feminist care ethics to care work, and care within
personal relationships. She also looks at 'stranger relationships',
how we relate to the places in which we live, and the way in which
public deliberation about social policy takes place. This book will
be vital reading for all those wanting to apply relational
understandings of humanity to social policy and practice.
