Abstract
A groundbreaking study of Chicana domestic workers that examines the unequal distribution of reproductive labor as a paid commodity and its role in reproducing social inequality. Tenth Anniversary Edition published in 2002 with new introduction by Dorothy Smith.
Maid in the U.S.A. is a groundbreaking study of Chicana domestic workers that examines the unequal distribution of reproductive labor as a paid commodity and its role in reproducing social inequality.
“Romero’s pioneering work transformed the study of domestic labor, revealing how race, class, and gender intersect in the most intimate spaces of American life. This book remains essential reading for understanding care work and social inequality.”
The Tenth Anniversary Edition (2002) includes a new introduction and afterword by Dorothy Smith. The book has been widely reprinted and cited across sociology, feminist studies, and labor studies.
