Table of ContentsReviews<p> By choosing to focus on an occupational group that has been largely invisible, Stacey reveals some unique aspects of emotional experiences and management among home care aides but also show how their emotional experiences are affected by their crisscrossing social locations. In so doing, she demonstrates how emotional resources are enabling home care workers to fulfill the values that authentically underlie their caring selves at the same time that framing their jobs in emotion-laden terms exempts them not just from higher pay and benefits, but from large-scale social policies guaranteeing worker protections.

Clare L. Stacey deftly situates her qualitative research within a larger critique of public policies that disrespect and discourage home care provision. -Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts Amherst Author InformationClare L.
