- Description
- The dissertation explores the colonial roots of the symbols and representations which surround migrant domestic workers in Europe. The author asks how colonial legacies affected the experience and identity formation of the first postcolonial female migrants, prior to 1980, arriving in the former colonizing country and working there as domestic and care workers. The study is based on interviews with Afro-Surinamese women in the Netherlands and with Eritrean women in Italy. With a Dutch and English summary.
