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.Studies in global migration history ;Volume 16.Studies in global migration history ;Volume 4.Women household employeesNetherlandsSocial conditionsWomen household employeesItalySocial conditionsSurinameseNetherlandsSocial conditionsEritreansItalySocial conditionsNetherlandsEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsSurinameEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsItalyEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsEritreaEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsNetherlandsColoniesItalyColoniesWomen household employeesSocial conditions.Women household employeesSocial conditions.SurinameseSocial conditions.EritreansSocial conditions.331.4086/91Marchetti Sabrina595551Sorrentino GisellaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814248403321Black girls4126953UNINA
