El Racismo del Salario.

Experiencias de racialización de mujeres indígenas trabajadoras domésticas de los Altos de Chiapas

Abstract

In this article, I address the racialized nature of paid domestic work carried out by a group of indigenous workers from the Highlands of Chiapas – Mexico. First, I present the theoretical framework related to black, anti-racist and decolonial feminisms that allow us to understand the racial hierarchy between unpaid reproductive work and paid domestic work. Secondly, I present and analyze the work experiences of a group of indigenous workers from the Highlands of Chiapas who are marked by what I call wage racism and racialized sexist violence related to the servitude model of colonial heritage. Finally, I present the main conclusions regarding the way in which the working conditions of these indigenous women respond to forms of racialized appropriation of their bodies and subjectivities in paid domestic service.
