Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Florida, 2007.

My dissertation explores the negotiation of paid and unpaid labor in the home through an exploration of paid domestic work. Through an analysis of thirty qualitative interviews with white women who employ domestic workers my research examines participants'' perceptions of paid and unpaid work, how they negotiate the decision to hire domestic workers, how these work relationships are structured, how housework is gendered, and the relationships between employers and employers. Focusing on white employers provides an illustration of how racial and class privilege function within domestic work relationships. Mainstream feminism''s failure to organize around paid domestic work issues has ignored the experiences of many women, differentiated along lines of race, class and citizenship. This research speaks to that gap in feminist theorizing.

520 $a Overall, white employers insisted that race did not matter when making hiring decisions, however other cultural markers such as language mattered greatly, at times even resulting in firing. In addition, complex and contradictory narratives about immigration were used to both simultaneously vilify immigrant workers and romanticize their work experiences. The participants engaged various strategies in building or not building relationships with domestic workers. Their patterns of interaction reflect the (de)personalization of housework in this context as well as a hierarchal labor arrangement. Furthermore, many participants'' narratives reflect a conscious or unconscious rejection of viewing their home as a workplace.
