Abstract

Rural women who migrate from the Bolivian Andes to Santa Cruz and find a job as a domestic worker in the city have to learn their way in a new social and professional context and master the techniques of their new condition. These Indian women, coming from Quechua or Aymara communities, are submitted to several forms of social, gendered and ethnic domination. Their ?domestic condition? involves multiple forms of control and limited possibilities of circulation. These women nonetheless manage to elaborate professional and migratory strategies, and their trajectories appear to be diverse. Some of them try to professionalize their domestic labour and become cooks or nannies. Others go to work as domestic workers abroad, mainly in Argentina or in Spain.
