Gender, Migration and Domestic Service - The Politics of Black Women in Italy

Summary

Exploring the experiences of black women in Italy from the 1970s to the 1990s, this book shows that while the employment of migrants as live-in domestic workers led to forms of social marginalization, it paradoxically allowed Italian women to express new social identities within and outside the family.
