Discover 'Past Caring?', a compelling paperback that delves into the critical role of care in New Zealand's social fabric. This insightful volume of 286 pages, expertly edited by Barbara Brookes, Jane McCabe, and Angela Wanhalla, explores the often-overlooked topic of care, which is essential to both individual well-being and social relationships. Care permeates the core of New Zealand's key social institutions, including family and state welfare systems, yet it frequently goes unrecognized and unrewarded. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book addresses profound questions about gender, justice, and morality, highlighting how care shapes our lives on both philosophical and practical levels.

Understand care's significance through personal narratives, such as that of a M?ori grandmother, or the dedication of a Rarotongan leader. The volume weaves in memories from North East India and critiques from New Zealand cinema, which challenge the prevailing notion of ‘man alone’ by showcasing the everyday experiences of sole-carer mothers. Dive deep into case studies that unveil the multifaceted nature of care in various contexts—domestic, institutional, and political. With a publication date of February 1, 2019, 'Past Caring?' is a must-read for anyone interested in gender studies, social justice, and the critical importance of care in our interconnected lives.

Are women past caring? Care is essential to social relationships and individual well-being. It is woven into New Zealand’s key social institutions, such as the family, and is also embedded in societal expectations around state provision of health and welfare. Care is so vital, in fact, that it is often taken for granted and goes unnoticed and unrewarded. Historical and philosophical enquiry have largely ignored the issue of care, yet it raises profound questions about gender, justice and morality. The essays in this volume raise those questions directly – at the level of abstraction where prominent New Zealand women philosophers grappled with the political implications, and on the ground at the level of family relationships. Understanding the history of care requires attention to personal narratives, such as a M?ori grandmother’s story, a Rarotongan leader’s concept of duty to her people, or the sense of service that drove a long-term social worker. Memories of childhood night-time care are carried across the ocean from North East India. The depiction of sole-carer mothers in New Zealand film suggests a ‘caring’ alternative to the celebrated concept of ‘man alone’. The case studies examined focus on the everyday nature of care operating across domestic, institutional and political spaces, and build upon areas of strength in women’s history with its interest in family, motherhood, health, welfare, educa

If the set screws were white the shelves would be perfect.
Color: C. White - Modern Minimalist Style, Number Of Shelves: 3, Size: 15.7inches
I'd give 4 1/2 if there was one. The shelves thwmself are nice I just don't like the visible little black set screws. The shelves themself look great and are not wobbly at all if you install correctly. I purposely installed the bracket upside down because of the little black setting screws; I didnt want them showing because the shelves are above eye level and the screws are black and I didn't want them showing. But that made the shelf lean amd wobbly so I turned them back over the way they are supposed to be and that made them level and sturdy. I guess I'll paint the little screws.
