He argues that widespread attitudes towards biological parenthood contribute to these worsening crises and examines the liberatory potential of foster-care and adoption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten 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.","brand":"Agenda Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888261742743,"sku":"9781788217897","price":12119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788217897.webp?v=1781164648","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unhappy-families-childcare-in-a-hopeless-world-9781788217897","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
