The national bestseller that put "work/family balance" in the headlines and on the White House agenda, with a new introduction by the author.

When "The Time Bind" was first published in 1997, it was hailed as the decade's most influential study of our work/family crisis. In the short time since, the crisis has only become more acute.
Arlie Russell Hochschild, bestselling author of The Second Shift, spent three summers at a Fortune 500 company interviewing top executives, secretaries, factory hands, and others. What she found was startling: Though every mother and nearly every father said "family comes first," few of these working parents questioned their long hours or took the company up on chances for flextime, paternity leave, or other "family friendly" policies. Why not? It seems the roles of home and work had reversed: work was offering stimulation, guidance, and a sense of belonging, while home had become the place in which there was too much to do in too little time.
Today Hochschild's findings are more relevant than ever. As she shows in her new introduction, the borders between family and work have become even more permeable. With the Internet extending working hours at home and offices offering domestic enticements -- free snacks, soft music -- to keep employees later at their jobs, The Time Bind stands as an increasingly important warning about the way we live and work.
Arlie Russell Hochschild, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, and co-director of The Center for Working Families, is the author of The Second Shift and The Managed Heart. Her articles have appeared in Harper's, Mother Jones, and Psychology Today, among others.

小而美的一本书，以时间为线，实际上还是在讲对资本主义的反思，讲资本主义制度和文化下家庭的泰勒化与家庭关系的异化，看完最大的感受有三：1）作者基于理论和田野材料层层深化研究问题的思考过程值得学习；2）作者研究发现的假定以及提出的潜在方案还是很能体现西方文化特色的；3）时刻提醒自己：资本主义文化渗透在人们的日常生活中，无处不在
