Book Description
Pabi is used to acting on her own. She's a hard worker who gets things done, and she doesn't need anybody else getting underfoot. Given hard knocks, she takes them and gets back up. That's what it means to work for a verifiable hero who rides dragons and fights anything. When Pabi's boss sticks her with two other girls her own age, she finds her freedom trampled. One is a “miss perfect” dragon rider who seems to succeed at everything, and the other is a girl who invents magical contraptions. For a person whose main skill is getting lost in a crowd, having other people along really cramps her style. How did she get here? That’s a complicated story.

Maid for Television
Author: L. S. Kim
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978827016
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
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.
