Resumen
GLANTZ, Namina M.. Moving maids: dynamics of domestic service and development. Polít. cult. [online]. 2005, n.23, pp.83-102. ISSN 0188-7742.
How might development influence and be influenced by domestic service? Part I poses potential connections between the two phenomena, followed by general trends in the domestic service industry. Characteristics of domestic servants and service are discussed in Part II. Part III details patterns in domestic service, economic growth, modernization, and migration in Malaysia, Zambia, and Canada, revealing both shared and unique dynamics, and sparking questions about servant-state relationships, racial relations, gender role (re-)construction, class and notions of modernity, and how these issues interface with development. Observations in Part IV reiterate trends evidenced in case studies, and outline concerns they spawn.
