The Politics of Housework

Cultural Writing. Essays. This collection of essays was first published in 1980. THE POLITICS OF HOUSEWORK aimed to make questions involved in the domestic labor debate accessible to a wider audience, and to disentangle some of the contradictory ideas about where women's unpaid work in the home and for their families fitted into women's oppression and their marginalization in the world outside the home. In this new edition, Ellen Malos re-establishes the importance of the housework issue in contemporary society and broadens the debate to include its growing international dimension. However, the aim remains to rejoin the argument to its roots in people's lives, and to answer the question: what can we do about it?

Malos, Ellen

Social Sciences

The debate on housework was central to the women’s movement as it developed in the 1960s and 1970s. This new edition of The Politics of Housework sums up the whole argument, drawing from essays, books and pamphlets by leading figures of the women’s movement in Britain and North America. These essential contributions are invaluable as source material and as historical background to this far-reaching issue. The new final chapter highlights the growing importance of the domestic labour debate for women in the world beyond the western industrialized nations, and the widening of the definition of housework to include the caring and supportive roles of women in the family.

Drugs: Losing the War (Issues in Social Policy series)

Cripps, Colin

Sociology

Few social welfare problems have become so pressing in recent years as drug abuse. The spread of ecstasy-taking among the young and the arrival of crack as an international threat have all but overwhelmed the efforts of drugs workers and governments to resist them. Drugs: Losing the War looks into the closed world of young people’s drug use and advocates the provision of an integrated drugs service for young people. It tells the truth about cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy and heroine, and their effects on the user. The book explodes the myths of the ‘drugs war’— those held by both the left and the right, the libertarians and the authoritarians. It argues that a new pragmatism is urgently needed which will challenge those who seek ‘quick fix’ solutions.

Genetic Politics: From Eugenics to Genome

<p>Debating the rise of genetics in today's medical world, this study examines the values and practices that continue to shape the field of genetics. It argues that genetics as a whole is neither immune to nor ruined by the practice of eugenics, the scientific improvement of hereditary qualities. In contrast, it presents the hypothesis that genetics must be understood within the complex social and cultural processes that continue to shape it. While genetic technology may undermine an individual's freedom, that does not discount its merit. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of listening to women and disabled citizens, as they will be directly affected by the new genetic technologies.</p>

Cultural Writing. Political Science. A PLEASANT CHANGE FROM POLITICS concerns itself with the practical use that labor activists made of music in entertaining the comrades, propagating the socialist message and raising funds, as well as the formation of musical organizations and societies within the movement and the special place given to music and song during times of struggle. In so doing it attempts both to sketch a national picture and to offer a more detailed look at the musicality of local areas, focusing on the cities and surrounding districts of Birmingham and Bradford.
