"Garey and Hansen have assembled a stunning collection of studies on the emotional and logistical dynamics of coordinating paid and unpaid work. A must read."-Stephanie Coontz, author of A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s At the Heart of Work and Family presents original research on those topics by scholars who engage and build on the conceptual framework developed by the well-known sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild. These concepts, such as "the second shift," "the economy of gratitude," "emotion work," "feeling rules," "gender strategies," and "the time bind," are basic to sociology and have shaped both popular discussions and academic study. The common thread in these essays covering the gender division of housework, childcare networks, families in the global economy, and children of consumers is the incorporation of emotion, feelings, and meaning into the study of working families. These examinations, like Hochschild's own work, connect microlevel interaction to larger social and economic forces and illustrate the continued relevance of linking economic relations to emotional ones for understanding contemporary work-family life. Anita Ilta Garey is an associate professor of human development and family studies and of sociology at the University of Connecticut. Her book Weaving Work and Motherhood received the 2000 William J. Goode Book Award. Karen V. Hansen is a professor of sociology and women's and gender studies at Brandeis University. Her books include Not-So-Nuclear Families: Class, Gender, and Networks of Care (Rutgers University Press), which received the William J. Goode Book Award, Honorable Mention. A volume in the Families in Focus series, edited by Anita Ilta Garey, Naomi R. Gerstel, Karen V. Hansen, Rosanna Hertz, and Margaret K. Nelson

"This collection of articles by many of [Hochschild's] former
students and collaborators is a fitting and loving tribute to the
life work of one of the most original, influential, and passionate
contributors to the discipline of sociology, and much more broadly
to the study of emotions, work, family, and human relationships in
the global economy."

"In selecting essays for the book, Garey and Hansen illustrate the
diversity of research weaving together the contours of gender, work
and intimate life, which highlight the complexity of experiences in
the 21st century. In doing so, this book becomes a road map for
examining the rich terrain of the most vexed policy and social
issues of contemporary life."
