This book provides a critical engagement with the intensified
struggles to be found within elderly care provision. Various social
and political processes, including the forces of globalisation and the
de-gendering of care, have changed how we might understand this
national and global political concern. Emerging discourses such as
neoliberalism have also reframed elderly care to increase existing
tensions at the individual, national, and transnational level. Dahl
argues that in order to grasp these new realities of care we need a
new analytical framework that redirects us to new sites of
contestation. Dahl approaches these issues from a post-structuralist
and radical feminist position, while drawing from feminist sociology,
feminist political science, nursing philosophy and feminist history.
In particular, Struggles In (Elderly) Care highlights how the
predominantly feminist theorization of care has been dominated by a
sociological bias that could be improved using insights from political
science concerning concepts of power and struggle, and the importance
of the state and governance. This book will be of interest to
researchers in sociology, gerontology, nursing, and feminist studies.
