Summary
La presente obra es un estudio basado en las observaciones etnográficas y en entrevistas realizadas en Los Ángeles, California, a mujeres inmigrantes de origen latino que trabajan como niñeras y como encargadas del hogar, así como a las amas de casa que las contratan. Su autora explora la estructura ocupacional de trabajo doméstico, cuestionando el rol de la raza y del estatus migratorio en este tipo de oficio. A través de este libro, se busca llegar a una apreciación más plena de las experiencias y las perspectivas de las trabajadoras domésticas, para lograr un cambio positivo en el ámbito de esta ocupación y promover una mayor justicia social.
