- "Written by one of the world's most respected care scholars, Revolutionary Care provides original theoretical insights and novel applications to offer a comprehensive approach to care as personal, political, and revolutionary. Revolutionary Care has twelve chapters divided into two major parts. Part One, "A Case for A Commitment to Care," offers four theoretical chapters that reinforce the primacy of care as a moral ideal worthy of widespread commitment across ideological and cultural differences. Unlike other moral approaches, care is framed as a process morality and provides a general trajectory that can only determine the best course of action in the moment/context of need. Part Two, "Provocations and Invitations," employs seven case studies on toxic masculinity, socialism and care economy, humanism and posthumanism, environmentalism, pacifism, anti-racism, and veganism to demonstrate the radical and revolutionary nature of care. Exploring the thinking and writing of many disciplines, including authors of color, queer scholars, and indigenous thinkers, Revolutionary Care is an exciting and cutting-edge contribution to care ethics scholarship as well as a useful teaching resource"-- Provided by publisher.
