Resumen

Directed by Tate Taylor in 2011, The Help takes place in the United States in the decade of 1960s and portrays the oppressive condition of black domestic servants. Assuming that the issue of racism in the United States places black women as “less women” than others in society (DAVIS, 1981), this bibliographic research analyzes the social perspective of black and white women in the 1960s, establishes the relationship between domestic workers and their bosses, and how their different position in society influences that relationship. Our analysis also tries to understand the role that racism plays in the narrative of this film.
