Paid domestic work in Latin America has often been undervalued, underpaid, and underregulated. Exploring a wave of Latin American cultural texts since the 1980s that draw on the personal experiences of paid domestic workers or intimate ties to domestic employees, Paid to Care offers insights into the struggles these workers have faced through an analysis of literary testimonials, documentary and fiction films, and works of digital media.
The author, Rachel Randall (Reader in Latin American Studies, SLLF), will be discussing the book with Holly Eva Ryan (Reader in International Relations, SPIR).
Refreshments will be served after the event. All are welcome and no registration is necessary.
