Abstract

"Shares the memories of black domestic workers and the white families they served, uncovering the often intimate relationships between maid and mistress. Based on interviews with over fifty people--both white and black--these stories deliver a personal and powerful message about resilience and resistance in the face of oppression in the Jim Crow South"--Page [2] of jacket.
