![]() ![]() Esta obra relata as condições sociais em que as empregadas negras viviam na década de 60, nos Estados Unidos da América, Mississippi. As serviçais cuidavam das crianças das senhoras brancas como se fossem suas, no entanto, eram vítimas de discriminação social (frequentavam outras bibliotecas, mercados e tinham espaços próprios no trabalho, como por exemplo casas-de-banho). Recomendo a leitura deste romance por ressaltar que não deve haver preconceitos a nível racial, no fundo, somos todos diferentes mas todos iguais.
This is fun stuff, well-written and often applause-worthy. My only problem with The Help is that, in the end, it’s not really about the help. I finished The Help in one sitting and enjoyed it very, very much. It’s wise, literate, and ultimately deeply moving, a careful, heartbreaking novel of race and family that digs a lot deeper than most novels on such subjects do. As black-white race relations go, this could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill a Mockingbird... If you read only one book this summer, let this be it. “Mississippi is like my mother,” [Stockett] writes in an afterword to “The Help.” And you will see, after your wrestling match with this problematic but ultimately winning novel, that when it comes to the love-hate familial bond between Ms. Stockett and her subject matter, she’s telling the truth. Her pitch-perfect depiction of a country's gradual path toward integration will pull readers into a compelling story that doubles as a portrait of a country struggling with racial issues.

In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. With the civil rights movement exploding all around them, three women start a movement of their own, forever changing a town and the way women--black and white, mothers and daughters--view one another.
