Drawing on ten years of interviews and ethnographic research, this talk examines the lives of marginalized informal domestic workers who are called "adopted daughters“ but who live in slave-like conditions in the homes of their adoptive families in Brazil. Second-Class Daughters won the 2023 Distinguished Book Award from the American Sociological Association’s Section on Race, Gender and Class. Dr. Hordge-Freeman is Associate Professor of Sociology and the College of Arts & Sciences Racial Justice Initiative Chair at the University of South Florida. Lunch will be provided.
