Contents:
I. Introduction -- 1. Counter-thinking from the nursery : theorizing contemporary childcare movements -- 2. Selfish strikers and intimate unions : early years educators’ walkouts and the big steps campaign, Australia -- 3. Mothering the mothers : stratified depletion and Austerity in Bristol, United Kingdom -- 4. At the table or thrown under the bus : migrant nannies’ organizing and childcare coalitions during the COVID-19 pandemic -- 5. Maternal worker power
Summary: Spanning the United Kingdom, United States and Australia, this comparative study brings maternal workers' politicized voices to the centre of contemporary debates on childcare, work and gender. The book illustrates how maternal workers continue to organize against low pay, exploitative working conditions and state retrenchment and provides a unique theorization of feminist divisions and solidarities. Bringing together social reproduction with maternal studies, this is a resonating call to build a cross-sectoral, intersectional movement around childcare. Maud Perrier shows why social reproduction needs to be at the centre of a critical theory of work, care and mothering for post-pandemic times.
