Abstract

This article explores some of the work characteristics of indigenous (mainly mapuche) migrants and residents in Santiago de Chile. This document problematizes conceptions of race, racism and racialization in still prevailing colonial settings and uses statistical data and testimonies to discuss social markings that operate in the configuration of historical inequalities regarding indigenous peoples and the construction of imaginaries about some types of jobs. Based on the experiences of mapuche people in Santiago, the article proposes a reflection on domestic service employment and work in bakeries as forms of racialized work that follows racial hierarchies.
