This book brings together two key themes that have not been addressed together previously in any sustained way: domestic service and colonization. Existing studies of domestic service rarely make mention of colonization, but colonization offers a rich and exciting new paradigm for analysing the phenomenon of domestic labour by non-family workers, paid and otherwise. Scholars in diverse fields and disciplines here share new and stimulating insights on the various connections between domestic employment and the processes of colonization, both past and present, in a range of original essays.
