Sumario: | This book by Santiago Canevaro explores the complex dynamics between domestic workers and their employers in Buenos Aires, focusing on the intersection of public and private spheres. Through years of ethnographic research, it examines the intimate and emotional ties that develop in these relationships, which blur the lines between family and employment. The text delves into class hierarchies, gender and racial issues, and the legal frameworks affecting domestic work. It provides a historical perspective on the role of the state and legislation, such as the 2013 Law of Domestic Workers, in regulating these relationships. Aimed at readers interested in social structures and labor relations, the book highlights how domestic work is a microcosm of broader societal issues.
