A Classic!

This book is the classic study of the exploitation of domestic service workers in the United States. Kudos to the publisher for providing this 10th anniversary commemorative edition! In this book, which has aged extraordinarily well, Professor Romero studies the lives of those invisible people -- often immigrants and people of color -- who clean the homes of the middle and upper classes. What you learn is troubling and should make EVERYONE who employs domestic service workers think about their treatment. Thanks to Professor Romero for holding up the mirror!
