Book excerpt: As I write in the introduction of my book "I belonged nowhere. I belong everywhere. The world was my oyster!" Born in Romania in the small city of Temesvar, I had a happy, comfortable childhood. Not for long. My parents relocated to Bucharest and after two years joined the tobacco family business in Saloniki, (Now Thessaloniki). The clouds of war touched us as the Italians bombarded the city. That was the beginning of an Odyssey of trying to escape the Russian armies, first from Sofia, Bulgaria where we fled after our house was destroyed in Saloniki and then from Vienna from where we retreated to theAustrian Tyrol. I got married to Mark Natlacen, he too a refugee from Slovenia.The communists assassinated his father who was the last non-communist governor there. Immigration to the New World was our only option. We found peace in Montreal, Canada and the book tells us about our family finally settling in Acton, Massachusetts.
Download or read book Privatization Vulnerability and Social Responsibility written by Martha Albertson Fineman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a cross-cultural perspective, this book explores how privatization and globalization impact contemporary feminist and social justice approaches to public responsibility. Feminist legal theorists have long problematized divisions between the private and the political, an issue with growing importance in a time when the welfare state is under threat in many parts of the world and private markets and corporations transcend national boundaries. Because vulnerability analysis emphasizes our interdependency within social institutions and the need for public responsibility for our shared vulnerability, it can highlight how neoliberal policies commodify human necessities, channeling unprofitable social relationships, such as caretaking, away from public responsibility and into the individual private family. This book uses comparative analyses to examine how these dynamics manifest across different legal cultures. By highlighting similarities and differences in legal responses to vulnerability, this book provides important insights and arguments against the privatization of social need and for a more responsive state.
