Description

Book Synopsis

EPUB and EPDF available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

From small beginnings in the 1960s, the carers' movement has grown into an international network of not-for-profit organisations. The first to analyse its development from a global perspective, this book spans 60 years of mobilisation and campaigns.

Based on research and testimony from leading figures, the book covers the movement's expansion and interconnections in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US and parts of Asia. Showing how carers' organisations have raised awareness and shaped policy and research agendas, it offers a critical assessment of the movement's achievements and prospects at a time when care remains a pressing global issue.

Review Quotes

"A significant and unique publication ... inspiring and full of quirky historic detail, essential reading for anyone interested in how caregiving has moved out of the shadows into the international realm." Michael Fine, Macquarie University
