A Life in Balance?: Reopening the Family-Work Debate - Tapa dura

Despite a large body of scholarship on work-family relationships, none accomplishes what this volume does. It disrupts the work-family binary, demonstrating how this divide contributes to neo-liberal agendas. The chapters consist of fine-grained and nuanced empirical studies as well as broader think pieces that offer alternative conceptions for scholarship and for policy. - Belinda Leach, co-author of Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives: Labour and Community in the New Rural Economy

This book will be of interest to scholars from a wide range of social science disciplines, as well as to policy makers, non-governmental organizations, and parents trying to "balance" work and family responsibilities.
