Reproducing Inequalities at Home,
By A Customer
This review is from: Distant Companions: Servants and Employers in Zambia, 1900-1985 (Anthropology of Contemporary Issues) (Paperback)
This book explores social relations in colonial Africa through the lens of domestic services. It reveals how identities are contextually constructed in social practices where both employers and domestic servants develop social scripts to construct social distance during their daily interactions. The author shows how interactive scripts grow into routines and shape the practical consciousness of both parties, then reproducing hierarchical differences betwen them. This book is well-written and worthy reading for anthropologists and other people who are interested in Africa and social inequalities!
