New Perspectives on Mutual Dependency in Care-Giving

Original language description

Many scholars see caregiving relationships as being based on mutual dependency or interdependency. Extensively cited notions of the global care chain or international division of reproductive labour have prepared the ground for analysis of global interdependencies in several domains. This book goes further by taking mutual dependency as a starting point for analysing all relationships. Using the example of Vietnamese families in the Czech Republic and the Czech native nannies, it shows how paid caregiving is contextualized in terms of various relationships between three types of actors: employer-employee, caring for the child, and mother-child. All of these ties are based on ontologically different principles and each of them operates as a piece of a puzzle, which is meaningful only in relation to each other.
