Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change by Angela Garbes

 

NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the acclaimed author of  Like a Mother  comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change. The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers—and the lack of a social safety net to support them—writer Angela   Garbes found herself pondering a vital question: How, under our current circumstances that leave us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life?  In  Essential Labor,  Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context—the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color.  Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society. In  Essential Labor,  Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting a child's bodily and emotional needs as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level. Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering. Read more

This book is a gift to everyone who has ever cared for someone or been cared for. I adore Angela Garbes' work and was expecting this book to feel smart but also tough to get through -- more bad news about how hard it is to be a mother. Not at all. It's a joy to read and have so much of the work we do re-conceived as love through her personal family's history and her mind-blowing reframes. I will never again think of the little day to day tasks of parenting as unremarkable. Garbes has cracked open my brain to realize they are the most valuable thing of all. I read a LOT of parenting and advocacy books and this is my new favorite.
