ABSTRACT
Care is central to life, and yet is all too often undervalued, taken for granted and hidden from view. The ReValuing Care network1 identified care as a central problematic, a focus of feminist debate for many years, and set about recuperating and developing anew aspects of that debate. This collection of original essays is the product of conversations, debates and discussions that took place at and through a series of ReValuing Care network workshops.2 In this book, we seek to explore the different dimensions of care that shape social, legal and political relations, looking back through feminist literatures and experiences, and forward to alternative visions of how care can be valued, imagined and accomplished.
