Описание: As African American women left the plantation economy behind, many entered domestic service in southern cities and towns. Cooking was one of the primary jobs they performed, feeding generations of white families and, in the process, profoundly shaping southern foodways and culture. Rebecca Sharpless argues that, in the face of discrimination, long workdays, and low wages, African American cooks worked to assert measures of control over their own lives. As employment opportunities expanded in the twentieth century, most African American women chose to leave cooking for more lucrative and less oppressive manufacturing, clerical, or professional positions. Through letters, autobiography, and oral history, Sharpless evokes African American women's voices from slavery to the open economy, examining their lives at work and at home.

Описание: Hired Daughters examines a fading tradition of domestic service in which rural girls familiar to ordinary Moroccan families were placed in their homes until marriage. In this tradition of "bringing up," the girls are considered "daughters of the house," and part of their role in the family is to help with the housework. Gradually, this tradition is transforming into one in which workers unfamiliar to their host families are paid a wage and may not stay long, but where the Islamic ethics of charity, religious reward, and gratitude still inform expectations on both sides. Mary Montgomery examines why Moroccans so often talk about their domestic workers as daughters, what this means for workers and employers, and how this is changing in contemporary Morocco. Prioritizing the experiences and perspectives of these women, Montgomery charts the tension that has developed between socially embedded, loyal domestic workers who operate within narratives of kinship and obligation and women who seek greater individualization, privacy, and self-empowerment. Hired Daughters offers a nuanced understanding of a world that bridges public and private, morality and money, family and outsiders. In doing so, it provides an intimate consideration of contemporary Moroccan households as economic enterprises and sites of navigation between the traditional and the global.

Описание: Domestic Workers in Indonesia uncovers the story of a movement for domestic worker rights that has campaigned for a national domestic workers law since 2004. Interweaving theoretical insights with evocative portrayals of individual lives and exceptional events, Mary Austin demonstrates how a feminist-inspired alliance engendered a nascent Indonesian domestic worker class. Shifting scholarly focus from overseas domestic workers to the five million employed in Indonesian homes, Austin follows the movement from its beginnings in the student protests and feminist activism of the 1980s and 1990s to its lobbying, costumed street protests, collaboration with unions, and NGO networking in the 2000s. After exploring the contribution of advocacy journalism and feminist knowledge production to the tasks of dismantling stereotypes, demolishing myths, and questioning the publicprivate divide, the book ends with the movements embrace of digital activism. Press coverage, first-hand accounts, observations, and dozens of interviews evidence the reluctance of employers to countenance change, the procrastinations and broken promises of politicians, and the creative responses of domestic workers determined to have their voices heard. The book takes the reader into spaces ranging from the neighbourhood meeting-house and domestic worker schoolroom to the smart hotels used for transnational organising and the committee rooms of Indonesias parliament. Informed by the authors experience of living in Indonesia in the 1980s, the narrative provides insights into the processes of participation, performance, and fashioning that opened up new identities for former helpers as independent workers and activist citizens. This first full-length study of domestic worker organizing in Indonesia will appeal to scholars, activists, and policy makers concerned with the future for transformative feminist, labour, and social activism in Indonesia and beyond.
Описание: Care activism challenges the stereotype of downtrodden migrant caregivers by showing that care workers have distinct ways of caring for themselves, for each other, and for the larger transnational community of care workers and their families. Ethel Tungohan illuminates how the goals and desires of migrant care worker activists goes beyond political considerations like policy changes and overturning power structures. Through practices of subversive friendships and being there for each other, care activism acts as an extension of the daily work that caregivers do, oftentimes also instilling practices of resistance and critical hope among care workers. At the same time, the communities created by care activism help migrant caregivers survive and even thrive in the face of arduous working and living conditions and the pains surrounding family separation. As Tungohan shows, care activism also unifies caregivers to resist society’s legal and economic devaluations of care and domestic work by reaffirming a belief that they, and what they do, are important and necessary.
Описание: Magdalen history has long been marginalised. Even as women`s activism and contributions are included in new histories of the revolutionary era, the lives of women regarded as marginal are still excluded.

Описание: Winner of the 2020 Sarah A. Whaley Book Prize from the National Women's Studies Association Putting Their Hands on Race offers an important labor history of 19th and early 20th century Irish immigrant and US southern Black migrant domestic workers. Drawing on a range of archival sources, this intersectional study explores how these women were significant to the racial labor and citizenship politics of their time. Their migrations to northeastern cities challenged racial hierarchies and formations. Southern Black migrant women resisted the gendered racism of domestic service, and Irish immigrant women strove to expand whiteness to position themselves as deserving of labor rights. On the racially fractious terrain of labor, Black women and Irish immigrant women, including Victoria Earle Matthews, the "Irish Rambler", Leonora Barry, and Anna Julia Cooper, gathered data, wrote letters and speeches, marched, protested, engaged in private acts of resistance in the workplace, and created women's institutions and organizations to assert domestic workers' right to living wages and protection.
