'A clarion voice from a new generation of British feminists' Sophie Lewis, author of Abolish the Family

'A powerful, utterly engaging read and a vital call to action' Meg-John Barker, author of Rewriting the Rules

'Made me reconsider so many of the cultural scripts I've been fed my whole life. Unsparing, important and hopeful' Annie Lord, author of Notes on Heartbreak

In a world where money rules, what does it mean to have good relationships?

Radical Intimacy explores how the capitalist system shapes our intimate lives, and what we can do about it. Through the topics of self-care, romance and sex, family, home, death and friendship, the book looks at the histories and modern realities of these forms of intimacy, and considers what it might mean for things to be otherwise.

From political sex scandals to climate justice, from Britney Spears to communes, from Black Lives Matter to alternatives to the nuclear family, Sophie K. Rosa interrogates common sense ideas about 'the good life'. What might our desires look like in a better world? And how can care, connection and community support our struggles for liberation?

Sophie K. Rosa is a writer and journalist. She has written for many publications including Novara Media, the Independent, the Guardian, Buzzfeed, VICE, Al Jazeera, Aeon and CNN.

Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child
<p>This multidisciplinary volume offers an essential, comprehensive study of perspectives on the scope and application of the best interests of the child and focuses mainly on its application in relation to child custody.</p><p>With expert contributions from psychological, sociological and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether it should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. It explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limiting visitation rights of the other. Offering a comprehensive analysis of this complex topic, chapters provide detailed insight into the current state of research in this area, as well as expert guidelines aimed at resolving the controversies when parents agree or disagree over their children's living arrangements. Cutting-edge topics explored include: transnational shared parenting&#x3b; alternative dispute resolution&#x3b; breastfeeding parents&#x3b; religious disputes between parents and the psychological, social and economic factors that affect shared parenting.</p><p>The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child will be essential reading for scholars and graduate students in law, psychology, sociology and economics interested in shared parenting and family law.</p>
