Care, Crisis and Activism

Exploring the impact of austerity and neoliberal reforms on the welfare state, this book examines how care is both provided and retracted, particularly in the UK. It highlights the responses of local activists during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and analyzes the implications for caring practices and community interventions. The work offers a critical perspective on the evolving landscape of social care and the resilience of grassroots movements in challenging times.
