Drawing on in-depth interviews and extended ethnographic research in a range of hotel jobs, including concierge, bell person, and housekeeper, Sherman gives an insightful analysis of what exactly luxury service consists of, how managers organize its production, and how workers and guests negotiate the inequality between them. She finds that workers employ a variety of practices to assert a powerful sense of self, including playing games, comparing themselves to other workers and guests, and forming meaningful and reciprocal relations with guests. Through their contact with hotel staff, guests learn how to behave in the luxury environment and come to see themselves as deserving of luxury consumption. These practices, Sherman argues, help make class inequality seem normal, something to be taken for granted. Throughout, Class Acts sheds new light on the complex relationship between class and service work, an increasingly relevant topic in light of the growing economic inequality in the United States that underlies luxury consumption. 606 $aHospitality industry$xCustomer services$zUnited States 606 $aHotels$zUnited States$xManagement 606 $aLuxuries$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States 610 $aamerica. 610 $abehind the scenes. 610 $abellperson. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $aconcierge. 610 $aconsumer society. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $ademographic study. 610 $aeconomic inequality. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnographic research. 610 $ahotel jobs. 610 $ahotel managers. 610 $ahotel staff. 610 $ahotel workers. 610 $ahousekeepers. 610 $aluxury consumption. 610 $aluxury hotels. 610 $aluxury service. 610 $anonfiction study. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aservice industry. 610 $asocial inequality. 610 $asocial relationships. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aurban hotels. 610 $awealthy guests. 610 $aworkplace. 615 0$aHospitality industry$xCustomer services 615 0$aHotels$xManagement. 615 0$aLuxuries$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial classes 676 $a647.94068 700 $aSherman$b Rachel$f1970-$01522411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784413003321 996 $aClass acts$93762084 997 $aUNINA
