Mobilité professionnelle des domestiques au Brésil (Nordeste): une logique complexe

Marie Anderfurhen

Revue Tiers Monde, 2002, vol. 43, issue 170, 265-285

Abstract: [eng] Marie Anderfuhren — Professional mobility of domestic servants in North East Brazil : a complex pattern.. Domestic servants have to continually device strategies out of exploitation, poor wages and the low social esteem they are held in. They thus conceal their functions, deem them temporary, hoping for better prospects. But the domestic's condition stays on, so they are forced to forge acceptable identities. The article studies the relationships between poor work conditions, the self-perceptions of the domestic servants, and the prospects of professional mobility. It shows the stigmatising effects that hamper possibilities of improvement, leading to complex strategies, such as the forging of identity.
