Daniela Alegría y Lieta Vivaldi (Eds.). LOM, 2024. 262 págs.

Abstract

This review discusses Reflexiones feministas sobre los cuidados (Alegría & Vivaldi, eds., 2024) as a key contribution to contemporary care debates in Latin America. The volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives that combine theoretical reflection, normative analysis, and situated approaches to care practices. The review highlights the book’s effort to clarify the conceptual ambiguities surrounding care, engaging feminist ethics, social reproduction theory, and the notion of interdependence. It also emphasizes the political relevance of the collection within the recent Chilean context, shaped by the crisis of social reproduction and by emerging institutional frameworks that recognize care as a social right.
