Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in hotels? Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the… First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of service provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britains tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century.Eloise Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926, the Margate Hotel Murder, and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Mosss exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr.The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britains relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and welcome had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities. How Britains hotels changed the nature of sex, crime and civil rights, told through the voices of those who worked and stayed in them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
