¿Todas somos iguales?

Nosotras trabajamos así: afanando lo ajeno

Abstract

The following lines reflect on other ways in which the identities of mixtecas-oaxaqueñas women who are employed in paid domestic service in the great heart of Mexico City could be understood and analyzed. Understanding these diverse identities from categories such as gender, ethnicity, class and sexuality. Categories that must be merged when analyzing the oppressions that such women live every day. This, to avoid the homogenizing and universalist gaze that is constructed from western knowledge that has been considered the only valid and objective one. Deconstructing those looks helps us to account for contexts, stories, experiences, oppressions, identities and resistances that are heterogeneous and complex.
