N2  - This book shifts the conversation surrounding domestic service away from an emphasis on the crisis of transnational care work to one about the constitution of class. It reveals how employers position themselves as middle and upper classes through evolving methods of servant and home management, even as servants come to grips with the challenges of class and cultural distinction embedded in relations of domination and inequality.
