- Description
- Tucker presents a revealing collection of oral-hiostory marratives that explore the complex, sometimes enigmatic bond between black female domestic workers and their white employers from the turn of the twentieth century to the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. Based on interviews with forty-two women of both races from the Deep South, these narratives express a range of human emotions and convey the ties that united and the tensions and conflicts that separated these two mutually dependent groups of women.
