这一关于家庭护理的启发性研究展示了老年人和残疾人以及在日常活动中帮助他们的移民女工是如何发展出有意义的关系的，即使他们的不同年龄、能力、种族、国籍和社会经济背景造成了紧张。正如这本书所展示的那样，工人可能会在种族主义和性别分化的阶级等级制度中经历贬值，这塑造了他们对安全的追求。这本书分析了工人的安全与老年人和残疾人的灵活性之间的紧张、联盟和妥协，并认为工人和接受者在交叉的不平等中以不同的方式谈判灵活性和安全，取决于多种相互作用的动力。这本书的分析得出的结论是，跨越多个不平等轴心的深度民主联盟是必要的。为了既支持灵活的医疗保健，又支持有保障的工作，该书主张建立亲密的社区工会，倡导普遍的国家资助，设计由工人和接受者运营的具有文化敏感性的劳动力市场中介机构，帮助人们找到工作或工人，并解决家庭工作场所的日常紧张局势。
This revealing look at home care illustrates how elderly and disabled people and the immigrant women workers who assist them in daily activities develop meaningful relationships even when their different ages, abilities, races, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds generate tension. As the book shows, workers can experience devaluation within racialized and gendered class hierarchies, which shapes their pursuit of security. The book analyzes the tensions, alliances, and compromises between security for workers and flexibility for elderly and disabled people, and argues that workers and recipients negotiate flexibility and security within intersecting inequalities in varying ways depending on multiple interacting dynamics. What comes through from the book's analysis is the need for deeply democratic alliances across multiple axes of inequality. To support both flexible care and secure work, the book argues for an intimate community unionism that advocates for universal state funding, designs culturally sensitive labor market intermediaries run by workers and recipients to help people find jobs or workers, and addresses everyday tensions in home workplaces.
