Description: New Politics of Home : Housing, Gender and Care in Times of Crisis, Hardcover by Jupp, Eleanor; Bowlby, Sophie; Franklin, Jane; Hall, Sarah Marie, ISBN 1447351843, ISBN-13 9781447351849, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Partly based on a seminar series held at the Open U. in the UK between 2013 and 2015, "Home Space: Public and Private in New Welfare Settings," this book examines home and care, gender, and housing at a time of crisis in the UK involving cuts to welfare services, loss of community and public infrastructure, increased inequality, loss of benefits and income, and the wider loss of social infrastructure. The authors discuss how the representation of home in policy discourses masks neoliberal economic and political shifts and how the caring work that women do is taken for granted in social policy; how housing and home produce inequality in relation to care resources and practices; methodological issues in relation to the politics of home and care and the use of ethnographic accounts and vignettes; Sure Start Children's Centres as in-between or home-like spaces that link care at home with wider networks and resources; and the implications of a focus on home and care for research, politics, and welfare in policy design.
