Maid for Television examines race, class, and gender relations as
embodied in a long history of television servants from 1950 to the
turn of the millennium. Although they reside at the visual
peripheries, these figures are integral to the idealized American
family. Author L. S. Kim redirects viewers' gaze towards the
usually overlooked interface between characters, which is drawn
through race, class, and gender positioning. Maid for
Television tells the stories of servants and the families they work
for, in so doing it investigates how Americans have dealt with
difference through television as a medium and a mediator.The book
philosophically redirects the gaze of television and its projection
of racial discourse. Â
