SUMMARY

There are not many books that address the boundaries of care of older people from a work-life perspective. This book authored by contributors from various countries looks at the boundaries of care by looking at private and public help, professional and personal help and paid and unpaid caregivers. It captures and conceptualizes the complexity of the intersection of work and home life as it relates to the provision of assistance and support to older relatives in a variety of "care work" contexts. It explores these issues within a critical framework, rather than from an assumed stress or burden perspective, which dominates current texts on the topic. Readers of this volume will gain a deeper understanding of issues of care provision amongst "networks" of careers and helpers, and of the particular dynamics of care when it is episodic or framed by constrains of space and time as a result of geography. in addition, each chapter addresses issues of diversity with sensitivity to gender, race and ethnicity.This book will be of use to academics and graduate students in Gerontology, Family Studies, IO psychology, Gender Studies and Sociology.ALSO FROM LEA/PSCYHOLOGY PRESSShultz-Adams: Aging and Work in the 21st Century, 2007, ISBN # 9780 805 8 5726-9Neal Hammer: Working Couples Caring for Children and Aging Parent: Effects on Work and Well Being, 2007, 978 0-8058 4604-1Voydanoff: Work, Family and Community: Exploring Interconnections, 2007, ISBN 978-0-8058-5621-7Martin-Matthews, Anne is the author of 'Aging and Caring at the Intersection of Work and Home Life' with ISBN 9780805859171 and ISBN 0805859179.
