Honorable Mention, Mirra Komarovsky Book Award, given by the
Eastern Sociological Society 2021 Outstanding Academic Title,
Choice Magazine How workers navigate race, gender, and class in the
food service industry Two unequal worlds of work exist within the
upscale restaurant scene of Los Angeles. White, college-educated
servers operate in the front of the house—also known as the
public areas of the restaurant—while Latino immigrants toil in
the back of the house and out of customer view. In Front of the
House, Back of the House, Eli Revelle Yano Wilson shows us what
keeps these workers apart, exploring race, class, and gender
inequalities in the food service industry. Drawing on research at
three different high-end restaurants in Los Angeles, Wilson
highlights why these inequalities persist in the twenty-first
century, pointing to discriminatory hiring and supervisory
practices that ultimately grant educated whites access to the most
desirable positions. Additionally, he shows us how workers navigate
these inequalities under the same roof, making sense of their jobs,
their identities, and each other in a world that reinforces their
separateness. Front of the House, Back of the House takes us behind
the scenes of the food service industry, providing a window into
the unequal lives of white and Latino restaurant workers.
