Adam Ferner's short, engaging book explores the ethical and political dimensions of parenthood, childcare and reproduction, and the dominant ethos of the family, in a world riven by conflict, inequality and the absence of hope.

Adam Ferner's short, engaging book explores the ethical dimensions of childcare in a world riven by conflict, inequality and the climate emergency. He argues that widespread attitudes towards biological parenthood contribute to these worsening crises and he examines the liberatory potential of foster-care and adoption.


Written in a clear and jargon-free style, the book is also informed by Ferner’s extensive experience as a youth worker, child-minder and child support worker. He foregrounds the concerns of young people largely marginalised by society, and 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 reproduction and to question the dominant ethos of the family.

Recenzijos

In this searing book on fostering, futurity, and despair, Adam Ferner meditates on the unromantic work involved in looking after one another with a voice full of clarity and integrity. Unhappy Families takes children seriously, and wrestles unflinchingly with the impossible task of caring for them as they deserve in a burning world. -- Sophie Lewis, author of Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation In Unhappy Families, Ferner lays bare the inherent contradictions and inconsistencies in how society thinks about raising children. He draws from a wide range of sources to deftly combine the personal and the political in this thorough, compelling and accessible book. -- Rageshri Dhairyawan, author of Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing Fascinating, humane, and critical whatever your views on children, Ferner will cause you to think anew. -- Darren Chetty, University College London
