Child Of The Dark: The Diary Of Carolina Maria De Jesus (50th Anniversary Edition) by Carolina Maria de Jesus |
Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an impressive piece of original -and ambitious-analysis. In Service and Servitude makes much clearer than most [scholarship] that a state elite intent upon a neo- liberal strategy of international economic competition relies on particular sorts of relationships between women and men. Chin convincingly demonstrates that the allegedly 'private' sphere of domestic work is in reality subject to political manipulations-especially via state labor legislation (or deliberate refusal to include it under its legislative aegis) and via state labor immigration policies. -- Review
