Includes bibliographical references.

Introduction : The Burdened Legacy of Domestic Servitude in Brazil -- 1. Jlia's Maids: Servants in the Cultural Imaginary of the Tropical Belle ¡poque -- 2. 'My Ol' Black Mammy': Childhood Maids in Brazilian Modernist Memoirs -- 3. 'How to Treat a Maid?': Misencounters with Servants in Clarice Lispector's -- 4. Writers in Aprons: Brazilian Servants' Testimonios.

This book demonstrates the symbolic centrality of servants in Brazilian intellectual discourse (fiction, memoirs, conduct literature, and journalism) over the course of one century₇from the aftermath of the abolition of slavery (1888) to late twentieth-century maids' testimonies. It explores demeaning images of servants to examine the ways intellectuals reconciled the colonial legacy of servitude with Brazil's modernization. While the first chapters examine the discourse of 'the servant problem,' revealing the elite's power anxieties vis-a-vis post-abolition transformations of domestic social contracts, later chapters explore new nuances of cross-racial conflicts facing contemporary servants' grassroots movements and the increase in female white-collar employment.
