Description
"Sellers and Servants is a welcome addition to research on a neglected subject, that of poverty-stricken Peruvian women whose alternatives for subsistence are few and cruel; to be a servant or to peddle goods in the markets and streets of Lima." Contemporary Sociology "A tour de force . . . Bunster and Chaney set out to tap an inner world of feelings, values, and significance' among poor migrant women in Lima. . . . Using an innovative talking pictures' interview technique, the authors delve into the lives of these poorest of the poor' revealing simultaneously their suffering and their strength."
