Description
Au Pair by Zuzana Búriková and Daniel Miller is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between au pairs and their employers. Through meticulous research, the authors shed light on the hopes, fantasies, and frustrations that often accompany this arrangement. The book reveals the tensions and potential of this unique relationship, moving seamlessly between individual stories and their social context. It also tackles the realities of the situation, including racism, problematic behaviour, and exploitation. By presenting a nuanced and sensitive portrayal of au pairs' experiences, this book provides valuable insights into an increasingly prevalent aspect of family life. This book offers a fresh perspective on a topic that is often misunderstood. With its vivid prose and fine-grained ethnographic detail, it is a pleasure to read and a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the lives of au pairs.
