- Description
- Domestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, 'adopted' workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are even worse in colonizer-colonized dichotomies, in which the subalternized have to run the households of administrators who believe they are running an empire (Part Two). Societies and states set the discriminatory rules, those employed develop strategies of resistance or self-protection (Part Three).

- Description
- De auteur volgt de sporen van een aantal slavenautobiografieën door Groot-Brittannië, de Verenigde Staten en Nederland. Ze onderzoekt de rol die deze getuigenissen speelden in de productie van kennis over slavernij en het slavernijverleden. Deze interpretatiegeschiedenis begint in 1789 bij de anti-slavernijbeweging en voert via onder meer de Aprilbeweging, de Harlem Renaissance, Black Power, de tweede feministische golf en de ‘canon wars’ en naar actuele debatten over de omgang met het koloniale slavernijverleden en de ‘slavernij’ van moslimvrouwen.

- Description
- In 2006, the United Nations reported on the “feminization” of migration, noting that the number of female migrants had doubled over the last five decades. Likewise, global awareness of issues like human trafficking and the exploitation of immigrant domestic workers has increased attention to the gender makeup of migrants. Donato and Gabaccia evaluate the historical evidence to show that women have been a significant part of migration flows for centuries. This book demonstrates that variation in the gender composition of migration reflect not only the movements of women relative to men, but larger shifts in immigration policies and gender relations in the changing global economy.
