Description

This 1994 study examines the lives and work experiences of Black female domestic servants, exploring how race, class, and family intersect within the occupation of private household service. Part of the Studies in African American History and Culture series, the book investigates employee relationships, labour force participation, and the social dynamics that shaped domestic service work. Through three detailed case studies, the author presents narratives of resistance, family bonds, and the lived realities of women navigating household employment. The volume remains relevant to contemporary discussions of labour, identity, and social change, offering historical perspective on how demographic shifts and increased demand for private household help have influenced the domestic service sector. A used copy in good condition, this work provides valuable insight into African American women's experiences within a traditionally undervalued occupation.
