Abstract
This paper examines the changing class relations between African American domestic workers and white households in the post-World War II period. Using class analysis and supporting empirical evidence, I argue that African American women were agents of a class transition from feudalism to independent commodity production. Over time, African American domestic laborers redefined and standardized their jobs so that they were increasingly able to exchange specified services for a given amount of money.
