Sommario/riassunto |
|
In today’s Europe, migrant domestic workers are indispensable in supporting many households which, without their employment, would |

|
|
|
|
lack sufficient domestic and care labour. Black Girls collects and explores the stories of some of the first among these workers. They are the Afro-Surinamese and the Eritrean women who in the 1960's and 70's migrated to the former colonising country, the Netherlands and Italy respectively, and there became domestic and care workers. Sabrina Marchetti analyses the narratives of some of these women in order to powerfully demonstrate how the legacies of the colonial past have been, at the same time, both their tool of resistance and the reason for their subordination. |

Titolo |
An alarme for London [[electronic resource] ] : to awake and mourne for sin, before God make her weepe for judgements. Plainly shewing what sins tend to the breach of every one of Gods commandments, whereby Gods people may see what cause they have to mourne, both for their own and other mens sins, considering what miseries they have brought upon this nation, but especially because so gracious a God is thereby offended. A subject very soasenable [sic] for these times, in a dialogue between Archippus a minister, and Philemon a godly Christian. Imprimatur, John Downham |
