Criticism is often levied that care ethics is too narrow in scope
and fails to extend to issues of social justice. Socializing Care
attempts to dispel that criticism. Contributors to the volume
demonstrate how the ethics of care factors into a variety of social
policies and institutions, and can indeed be useful in thinking
about a number of different social problems. Divided into two
sections, the first looks at care as a model for an evaluative
framework that rethinks social institutions, liberal society, and
citizenship at a basic conceptual level. The second explores care
values in the context of specific social practices (like live
kidney donations) or settings (like long-term care), as a framework
that should guide thinking. Ultimately, this collection
demonstrates how society would benefit from a more serious
engagement with care ethics.

Politics Through a Looking-Glass is a ground-breaking exploration
of the connection between storytelling and politics. Author Eloise
Buker examines how stories--both imaginative narratives and
historical narratives--offer new ways of understanding social and
political life. Basing her analysis on extensive field studies she
conducted in two diverse political cultures--a rural working-class
community in Hawaii and a suburban upper-middle class community in
Ohio--Buker begins by developing a model for interpreting
narratives which builds upon structural analysis and philosophical
hermeneutics. She then applies her model to the interpretation of
narratives from political leaders in the two different communities,
arguing that stories are windows through which we gain insight into
a community's experiences, values, struggles, and conflicts.
