Routledge Migration, Domestic Work and Affect - Decolonial Approach

This scholarly work examines the lives and labour of Latin American migrant domestic workers across Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK, offering a decolonial perspective on how care work in private households has become the primary employment sector for migrant women. Drawing on personal testimonies and lived experiences, the author presents a critical analysis of the feminization of labour within domestic settings, whilst exploring how affective labour operates within these intimate working relationships. The book contributes essential insights to contemporary discussions surrounding citizenship, cosmopolitanism and the invisible emotional dimensions of domestic work. Published by Routledge as part of their Research in Gender and Society series, this volume provides both theoretical rigour and human-centred narratives that challenge conventional understandings of migration, labour and gender.
