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. 606 $aAsian Americans - Social conditions 606 $aAsian Americans -- Social conditions 606 $aBeauty culture - Social aspects - United States 606 $aBeauty culture -- Social aspects -- United States 606 $aBeauty shops - Social aspects - United States 606 $aBeauty, Personal - Social aspects - United States 606 $aKorean American women - Employment - United States 606 $aKorean American women -- Employment -- United States 606 $aManicuring - Social aspects - United States 606 $aUnited States - Race relations 606 $aUnited States -- Race relations 606 $aWomen immigrants - Employment - United States 606 $aWomen immigrants -- Employment -- United States 606 $aBeauty culture$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aKorean American women$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aWomen immigrants$xEmployment$zUnited States 606 $aNail art (Manicuring)$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aManicuring$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts$2HILCC 606 $aArts & Crafts$2HILCC 610 $aafrican american women. 610 $aart. 610 $aasian american. 610 $aasian immigrants. 610 $aasian women. 610 $abeauty service work. 610 $abody services. 610 $abody. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $aconsumption. 610 $adivisions of race. 610 $aethnography. 610 $agender issues. 610 $agender. 610 $aimmigrant workers. 610 $ainterviews. 610 $akorean women. 610 $amanicures. 610 $anail industry. 610 $anail salons. 610 $anew york city. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apampering. 610 $arace issues. 610 $aself care. 610 $aself expression. 610 $aservice careers. 610 $asocial science. 610 $aunited states. 610 $awhite middle class women. 610 $awomen. 610 $aworking class. 615 4$aAsian Americans - Social conditions. 615 4$aAsian Americans -- Social conditions. 615 4$aBeauty culture - Social aspects - United States. 615 4$aBeauty culture -- Social aspects -- United States. 615 4$aBeauty shops - Social aspects - United States. 615 4$aBeauty, Personal - Social aspects - United States. 615 4$aKorean American women - Employment - United States. 615 4$aKorean American women -- Employment -- United States. 615 4$aManicuring - Social aspects - United States. 615 4$aUnited States - Race relations. 615 4$aUnited States -- Race relations. 615 4$aWomen immigrants - Employment - United States. 615 4$aWomen immigrants -- Employment -- United States. 615 0$aBeauty culture$xSocial aspects 615 0$aKorean American women$xEmployment 615 0$aWomen immigrants$xEmployment 615 0$aNail art (Manicuring)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aManicuring$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 615 7$aArt, Architecture & Applied Arts 615 7$aArts & Crafts 676 $a391.6 700 $aKang$b Miliann$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01544773 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790598203321 996 $aThe managed hand$93799228 997 $aUNINA
