Maid for Television

Race, Class, Gender, and a Representational Economy

Beschreibung

Maid for Television examines the racialized female domestic by tracing the maid’s representational and narrative function in American television. As domestic service has been a long-standing occupation for women of color, the figure of the maid in the employer’s home is a recurrent and patterned image, simultaneously enacting and revealing the nexus of race, class, and gender hierarchies in American culture.
