Recenzii
Part-Time for All makes a powerful argument for a deep and revolutionary new ideal-one toward which we all should strive.
As Nedelsky and Malleson state: 'Deep structural changes for all will be needed to redress the long-standing devaluation of care.' Their proposals to restrict everyone's full-time work and to insist that everyone devote time to care is nothing short of revolutionary.
In this timely book, Jennifer Nedelsky and Tom Malleson shed light on the paradox that while we all are aware of the importance of the social organization of care, it tends to be relegated to the shadows of exploitative work. Anyone who thought that empirical, structural realism and normative, utopian thinking are opposites, will know better after reading this manifesto. As the authors show powerfully, deeply rooted problems require radical thinking, grounded and humane.
This book complements resources on social justice, work-life balance, caregiving, and part-time work.
