Produktbeschreibung

Through ethnographic research focused on the local culture and logic of care, Vittoria documents that when given autonomy in their daily work, Certified Nursing Assistants constructed a systematic body of knowledge and created a language of care - forging a "different" model of personal care in resistance to the medical model of care.
