The Managed Hand: Race, Gender, and the Body in Beauty Service Work
Miliann Kang
Two women, virtual strangers, sit hand-in-hand across a narrow table, both intent on the same thing - achieving the perfect manicure. Encounters like this occur thousands of times across the United States in nail salons increasingly owned and operated by Asian immigrants. This study looks at these intimate encounters, focusing on New York City.
