{"product_id":"9781788217422","title":"Unhappy Families : Childcare in a Hopeless World","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdam Ferner's engaging and personal book explores the ethical dimensions of childcare in a world riven by conflict and inequality. He argues that widespread attitudes towards biological parenthood contribute to these worsening crises and examines the liberatory potential of foster-care and adoption. Written in a clear and jargon-free style, the book is informed by both Ferner’s training as a philosopher and his extensive experience as a child support worker. His analysis foregrounds the concerns of young people largely marginalized by society, and he argues against the prevailing orthodoxy that hope is a necessary element of childcare. The book challenges us to look afresh at our everyday notions of parenthood, childcare and having children, and to question the dominant ethos of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agenda Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49870592835832,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":58.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781788217422-1.jpg?v=1783743078","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9781788217422","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
