Cuerpos para la exportación: Cerezas de sangre

Aunque las características estructurales de un modelo agroexportador se sostienen gracias a la vulnerabilidad legal y social de los cuerpos migrantes racializados, bajo el gobierno de Kast se han intensificado la retórica antimigrante y las políticas de deportación, lo que empuja a los trabajadores a circuitos aún más informales y explotadores, a pesar de que la economía sigue dependiendo de su mano de obra. A partir de perspectivas de derechos humanos, de género e interculturales, el artículo expone cómo la xenofobia fragmenta a la clase trabajadora, desvía la atención de las crisis estructurales y normaliza la explotación como un costo aceptable de la prosperidad de las exportaciones.
