- Danny Miller is one of the leading anthropologists in the world today and is a key figure in the study of material culture.
- This book is unique: it is the first attempt to analyse in detail the life of the au pair and the families for whom they work.
- The book is based on a detailed ethnographic study of 50 au pairs and their host families in London.
- This should appeal to students working on topics related to domestic work, child care, family life and migration, as well as a wide general readership including people who have employed, or are thinking of employing, au pairs.
