  abstract: Maid for Television examines the intersection of 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 identities. The book philosophically redirects the gaze of television and its projection of racial discourse. 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.
