“The results of McClanahan’s inquiry and cogent analysis make for an extraordinary read. Of course, many great books help us to think differently, or to recognize distortions in what we understand as truth and reality. But this book’s subject, the sheer pervasive everyday-ness of service work, prevents all of us from retreating to an insulating intellectual distance, from shying away from the histories, conditions, and praxis of solidarity that McClanahan so carefully describes.”
