Description

Arlie Russell Hochschild's groundbreaking study explores the impact of work on family life and vice versa. In this thought-provoking analysis, Hochschild reveals how the boundaries between home and work have become increasingly blurred. Through extensive interviews with working parents from diverse backgrounds, Hochschild sheds light on the ways in which the roles of home and work have reversed. She shows how, despite good intentions, many parents struggle to balance their work and family responsibilities, leading to a sense of burnout and disconnection. This revised edition includes a new introduction by the author, highlighting the ongoing relevance of Hochschild's findings in today's fast-paced work environment.
