One of the great pleasures of staying in a hotel is spending time in a spotless, neat, and organized space that you don't have to clean. That doesn't, however, mean the work disappears-when we're not looking, someone else is doing it. With Housekeeping by Design, David Brody introduces us to those people-the housekeepers whose labor keeps the rooms clean and the guests happy. Through unprecedented access to staff at several hotels, Brody shows us just how much work goes on behind the scenes-and how much management goes out of its way to make sure that labor stays hidden. We see the incredible amount of hard physical work that is involved in cleaning and preparing a room, how spaces, furniture, and other objects are designed to facilitate a smooth flow of hidden labor, and, crucially, how that design could be improved for workers and management alike if front-line staff were involved in the design process. After reading this fascinating exposé of the ways hotels work-or don't for housekeepers-one thing is certain: checking in will never be the same again.

The impetus behind this Special Issue emerged from a quest to move beyondbinary thinking in the contemporary period about people who sell sexual services,including recent disputes about “sex trafficking vs. prostitution” and“criminalization vs. decriminalization”, to encourage theoretical and empiricalscholarship by exploring how sex work actually operates under different regulatoryregimes. The volume includes contributions from scholars of different socialsciences backgrounds based in five countries– New Zealand, the United Kingdom,Brazil, the United States and Canada. The article topics range widely,and both quantitative and qualitative research methods are showcased. The empiricalevidence presented adds to our current understanding of the complexityof this phenomenon of sex commerce/prostitution, which is found to be largelya problem of social inequality within and across capitalist societies. The authorscall for policies to address occupational and societal wide inequities faced by sexworkers across many countries.

Die Gewerkschaft »Öffentliche Dienste, Transport und Verkehr« (ÖTV) und ihr Vorsitzender Heinz Kluncker galten in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren als überaus mächtig: Mit dem legendären zweistelligen Lohnabschluss von 1974 brachten sie sogar Bundeskanzler Willy Brandt in Bedrängnis. Karl Christian Führers Studie porträtiert die ÖTV und zeigt, wie die Organisation in Tarifverhandlungen und bei Streiks agierte. Politische Rahmenbedingungen wie das ambivalente Verhältnis zur SPD und öffentliche Debatten über den Einfluss der Gewerkschaften werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt wie der wirtschaftliche und soziale Wandel zwischen 1964 und 1982. Das Buch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte der deutschen Gewerkschaften und der jungen Bundesrepublik. »Eine gut geschriebene Studie [...], die den Blick auf die Gewerkschaften und die Arbeitsbeziehungen in der Vorgeschichte der Gegenwart jenseits von Programmatik oder publiziertem Diskurs öffnet.« Matthias Frese, Westfälische Forschungen, 68 (2018) »Karl Christian Führers Studie ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Sie unterstreicht eindrücklich, wie verdienstvoll und notwendig eine innovative Zeitgeschichte der Gewerkschaften ist.« Stefan Wannenwetsch, Archiv für Sozialgeschichte, 58 (2018) »Eine detailreiche Analyse der Tarifpolitik der ÖTV und der Rolle Heinz Klunckers in der Bundesrepublik der 1970er-Jahre.« Andrea Rehling, H-Soz-u-Kult, 26.04.2018 »Die Studie von Karl Christian Führer leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der bundesdeutschen Gewerkschaftsgeschichte in den 60er und 70er Jahren. Die Aufarbeitung der Quellen und des Forschungsstandes ist beeindruckend.« Frank Deppe, junge Welt, 12.03.2018 »Das Buch [ist] mit großem Gewinn zu lesen.« Karl Lauschke, Mitbestimmung, 15.01.2018 »Nicht nur wegen der ausgewogenen Darstellung dieses Arbeitskampfes, sondern auch wegen der Fülle an Einblicken in das Innenleben einer Gewerkschaft ein höchst lesenswertes Buch.« Werner Bührer, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 05.11.2017 »Führer macht die Bedeutung einer sich in den letzten Jahren abzeichnenden Renaissance der Gewerkschaftsgeschichte für die allgemeine Geschichte der Bundesrepublik am Beispiel der ÖTV und ihres langjährigen Vorsitzenden deutlich.« Sebastian Voigt, www.sehepunkte.de, 17/9 (2017) O-Ton: »Was macht Gewerkschaftsmacht?« - Karl-Christian Führer im Gespräch mit Gunter Lange bei ver.di publik im Juni 2017. »Eine präzise Analyse über eine besondere Ära der Gewerkschaftsgeschichte.« Gunter Lange, verdi news, 16/11 (2017) Besprochen in: Vierteljahresschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte, 105 (2018), Wolfgang Schroeder

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 closely for the first time at these intimate encounters, focusing on New York City, where such nail salons have become ubiquitous. Drawing from rich and compelling interviews, Miliann Kang takes us inside the nail industry, asking such questions as: Why have nail salons become so popular? Why do so many Asian women, and Korean women in particular, provide these services? Kang discovers multiple motivations for the manicure-from the pampering of white middle class women to the artistic self-expression of working class African American women to the mass consumption of body-related services. Contrary to notions of beauty service establishments as spaces for building community among women, The Managed Hand finds that while tentative and fragile solidarities can emerge across the manicure table, they generally give way to even more powerful divisions of race, class, and immigration.
