- Title
Postsocialist Caring Biographies: Care Work between Work and Non-Work.
- Authors
Souralova, Adela
- Abstract
This article examines the ambiguous status of paid care work by focusing on how nannies make sense of paid care work. Drawing on fifteen in-depth interviews with Czech nannies caring for second-generation Vietnamese immigrant children, the article seeks answers to the following questions: How are postsocialist caring biographies and gendered subjectivities shaped in paid child care and how do they shape the understanding/meaning of (paid) care work? This article aims to bring a local experience to the global discussion while emphasizing the need for an examination of the cultural and political context in which nannies provide paid caregiving.
