About this title

Synopsis

Domestic and care work in private households is now the largest employment sector for migrant women. This book sheds light on these households through its focus on the interpersonal relationships between Latin American “undocumented migrant” domestic workers and employers in Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK. The personal experiences of these women form the basis for Guti�rrez-Rodr�guez’s decolonial analysis of the feminization of labor in private households and cultural analysis of domestic work as affective labor. This book will be a necessary voice in the debates on citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migrant workers’ rights.

About the Author

Encarnaci�n Guti�rrez-Rodr�guez is Senior Lecturer in Transcultural Studies at the University of Manchester, UK.
