Around the world, they make their livings through touch, closeness, and personal care. Their labors, both paid and unpaid, sustain the day-to-day work that we require to survive. This book takes a close look at carework, domestic work, and sex work in everyday life and illuminates the juncture where money and intimacy meet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntimate labor is presented as a comprehensive category of investigation into gender, race, class, and other power relations in the context of global economic transformations. In chronicling the history of intimate labor in light of the rise and devolution of welfare states, women's workforce participation, family formation, the expansion of sex work into new industries, and the development of institutions for dependent people, this wide-ranging reader advances debates over the relationship between care and economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhacel Salazar Parres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804761930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804761932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Social Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 104","brand":"Rhacel Salazar Parres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947220435199,"sku":"9780804761932","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d7601bc1-7855-47f2-a23f-d2e2217eff32.jpg?v=1681517438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intimate-labors-rhacel-salazar-parreas-9780804761932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
