In “The Managed Hand”, author Miliann Kang, brings us into the world of the nail salons of New York in an attempt to show us the coming together of multiple layers of intersectionality, gender, class, race and immigration. Kang brings to light a new service labor (body labor), an insight into the growing Korean immigrant community, the topic of racialized and gendered stereotyping as well as the inequality between women of different races and social status. Through this reading, we see that Kang works from the notion of Hochschild’s emotional labor; Kang takes it a step further and introduces body labor. Body labor is the designated commercialized exchange in which service workers attend to the physical comfort and appearance of the customers

Around this era of the late 1700’s, the citizens of the newly independent nation of “America” were in the process of ratifying their government from the Articles of Confederation to the current Constitution which allowed for a democratic republic. The people in support of this ratification were the “Federalist” whom often used pamphlet writings known as the “Federalist Papers” to persuade and inform the public of their ideas and Constitution ratification. The most influential paper among the 85, is the Federalist paper #10 that disproves the Antifederalists’ argument that a republic of any kind would fall from the pressure of multiple divisive opinions among its citizens. Given the nature of humans by God, creating factions based on similar
“You’d look so much prettier if you smiled,” a statement that can send chills up any woman’s spine, but they grit their teeth and force a fake expression of sincerity to avoid confrontation. Sarah Jaffe’s article “Grin and Abhor it; The Truth Behind Service with a Smile” discusses the hardship and struggle women must face in the service industry by selling their personality to create a more intimate relationship with their customers. This has created a problem because now male patrons are believing that female service workers are romantically attracted to them due to this false intimacy, which is degrading and emotionally taxing on the worker's behalf. Jaffe’s article suggests that perhaps you shouldn’t give the local grocery bagger or barista

The Spaniards, led by Christopher Columbus, played a major role in the devastation of the indigenous peoples that lived in the Americas before their encroachment. The Spaniards took advantage of the naivety of the natives, treated the people like the were mere objects, and nearly completed genocide without even being aware. With the dawn of the new age on the horizon, the once simpler times of the Native Americans and their people was drawing to an end. Before Columbus ever came to the Americas, the indigenous people that lived on the continent led simpler, more spiritual lives. The ‘Indians’ (as Christopher Columbus mistakenly nicknamed the people) that lived throughout North America had many similarities.

With listening to the song lyrics, we can get a true understanding of what the artist is trying to tell us.
