Abstract

Based on an ethnographic study conducted in Catalonia, this paper analyzes the links between migration, precarity, and health among Bolivian women affected by Chagas disease. In a context characterized by precarious migratory conditions tied to the growing internationalization of reproductive labor and these women workers' insertion into the domestic sphere, an analysis of the political economy of health is key to understanding the processes through which they may seek care, as well as their possibilities for managing Chagas.
