Abstract

The article discusses the experiences of domestic workers in Recife and Salvador around 1900. I understand such experiences from the rural/urban relation and from the process of building social networks in new spatial contexts. Many of these workers were from other regions and made up the diverse and complex work world with other professional groups. Finally, I present possible conflicts and solidarities in alleys and narrow streets, andthe meaning of such situations in an unfinished process of class formation.
