This groundbreaking book brings together two key themes that have
not been addressed together previously in any sustained way:
domestic service and colonization. Colonization offers a rich and
exciting new paradigm for analyzing the phenomenon of domestic
labor by non-family workers, paid and otherwise. Colonization is
used here in its broadest sense, to refer to the expropriation and
exploitation of land and resources by one group over another, and
encompassing imperial/extraction and settler modes of colonization,
internal colonization, and present-day neo-colonialism.
Contributors from diverse fields and disciplines 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 dealing with Indonesian,
Canadian Aboriginal, Australian Aboriginal, Pacific Islander,
African, Jamaican, Indian, Chinese, Anglo-Indian, Sri Lankan, and
'white' domestic servants.
