Recenzii

“The Meaning of Care mainly discusses the construction of informal care for older people in European countries. … The aim of the book is to demonstrate how discourses of care are interlinked with moral constructions, nostalgia and gendered practices. … I see it as a valuable contribution to any education that involves care. And in an educational context it might even be advantageous that it is reiterative.” (Janicke Andersson, Community, Work & Family, Vol. 19, January, 2016)
'This book takes a close look at discourses on informal elder care and break down the dichotomies inherent in the meanings of care. This is an essential reading for those interested in care.' - Minna Zechner, Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences, Finland
