This volume explores the character of the domestic worker in
twenty-first century Latin American cinema and analyzes how recent
filmic representations of the housemaid question the
marginalization of domestic servants, in particular women, by
making them the center of their narratives, their families, and
society. The essays in this book posit the female domestic worker
as an emergent subjectivity, a complex character who problematizes
and contests the hierarchical power structures within the family
dynamics and new socioeconomic orders found in contemporary Latin
America. Readers will find a variety of representations across the
continent as well as transnational commonalities of the cinematic
figure and role of the housemaid, including the negotiation of a
multilayered politics of affection in the framework of prevalent
paternalism, and the complex and contradictory dynamic between
private and public spaces, where domestic paid labor occupies a
central role in maintaining gender, class, and ethnic inequalities.
