We are delighted to announce that the volume Politicising and Gendering Care for Older People. Multidisciplinary Perspectives from Europe edited by Anca Dohotariu, Ana Paula Gil and Lubica Volanská has just been published by Manchester University Press.

This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

Following the introduction by Anca Dohotariu, the book includes ten chapters by Hanne Marlene Dahl and Daria Litvina (1), Pat Thane (2), Christophe Capuano (3), Antía Pérez-Caramés (4), Ana Paula Gil (5), Majda Hrzenjak, Jana Mali and Vesna Leskosek (6), Jelena Matancevic and Danijel Baturina (7), Ljiljana Pantovic, Bojana Radovanovic and Adriana Zaharijevic (8), Lubica Volanská (9), Simona Ioana Bodogai and Diana Margarit (10), and an afterword by Pat Thane.
