Yet we rarely acknowledge care except when it fails. In\u003ci\u003e Love, Money, Duty\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel Adams examines the stories we tell about care, those who do the work, and those who depend on it. These narratives, she argues, help us better understand our complicated feelings about care and the obligations that come with it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining insightful and compassionate readings of writers and artists--among them Toni Morrison, Susan Sontag, Roz Chast, Sally Mann, and Jamaica Kincaid--with stories of her own experiences, Adams analyzes the work, feelings, and ethical dilemmas associated with care, including unwelcome emotions such as boredom, resentment, exhaustion, and disgust. From the universal dependence of infancy to elder care and from the intimacy of home and family to institutions like hospitals, nursing facilities, and asylums, \u003ci\u003eLove, Money, Duty\u003c\/i\u003e considers our ambivalence about vulnerability and need and how it is shaped by capitalism, race, and gender. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from moral philosophy, gender and queer theory, critical race and disability studies, and health humanities, Adams treats care as a form of work, a feeling, an ethic, and an art. Exploring the radical possibilities of care and the devastating consequences of its failure, this book invites readers to appreciate care that works, recognizing the creativity and resourcefulness of dependent people and their caregivers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel Adams is professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University.
