O que podemos aprender sobre psicologia com as narrativas das empregadas domésticas: um caso de dissonância cognitiva

Katherine Stuart van Wormer

This brief paper explores Festinger’s classic theory of cognitive dissonance as a psychological phenomenon that can be applied to situations of social oppression. This framework is discussed in terms of older white women from the U.S. South who grew up with black women who worked as maids in their home under conditions of racial segregation.
