This groundbreaking edited collection examines the ‘dark side’ of care: social and governance infrastructures that both sustain and undermine care at the interpersonal level. Bridging macro-level critique with the lived realities of care, it offers a critical framework for reimagining care in the service of more just and equitable societies.
