  3. DomesticaStudy Questions • What is a “new world domestic order”? Why does Sotelo insist that Latina caregivers are integral to this “new world domestic order”? • What is “social reproduction”? And how does the concept of “social reproduction” break down the binary between public and private space? • What is “transnational motherhood”? How do practices of transnational motherhood reveal how immigration, race and class status determine what mothering even means?

  4. “the new world domestic order” • The new world • Early modern roots of globalization = European colonization + native genocide • Los Angeles  Southern California  Western Hemisphere (US-Mexico-Central America) • The new world order (Novus ordoseclorum) • Post-WWI (Woodrow Wilson) & Post-WWII (UN, NATO,IMF) • Post-Cold War – fall of Soviet Communism & rise of Western capitalism • Post-9/11 – globalized economies & permeability of borders • The new world domestic order • Global cities= survival circuits + invisible domestic labor

  5. Social Reproduction • Aka “reproductive labor” = “the myriad of activities, tasks, and resources expended in the daily upkeep of homes and people” (Sotelo 23) • Who performs reproductive labor and why? • Naturalized by gender • Naturalized by race/class • Home & domestic space as contradictory site of privacy/intimacy as well aslabor/exploitation • Master’s tools and master’s house (Sotelo 22-23)

  6. Transnational • “To be a good mother, I had to leave my children” • Maternal material duty versus maternal affective duty • Competing models of motherhood • Western ideals of “isolationist, privativized mothering” (Sotelo 25) • Dedicated mother/housewife • Working mother • Career woman/household manager • Mothering for hire  domestic caregivers and transnational motherhood • Debates over good mothering = simultaneously resisting and rehearsing gendered, racialized, and classed strictures Motherhood
