Beskrivning

An interdisciplinary study of the law's influence on homecare work and the experiences of care workers in the UK. Drawing together interviews with analysis of legal documents and media reports, this highly topical text unpicks assumptions about care workers and identifies aspects of the law that are problematic in this work context.

Recensioner i media

“This book should be required reading for all politicians, employment tribunal judges, and social care professionals because it provides a clear and coherent explanation of the consequences of contemporary neo-liberal moves to privatize care. Stories of Care is also a masterclass in the importance of socio-legal research, accessible to students and care professionals, grounded in a first-rate empirical, qualitative, ethnography.” (Rosie Harding, Journal of Law and Society, Vol. 46 (1), March, 2019)
