Prior to the economic collapse of 2019, Lebanon was home to upwards of 250,000 female migrant domestic workers of African and Asian origin. Feminist scholarship on domestic labor has long sought to complicate understandings of gender in a context where exploitation is largely perpetrated by women, on women. Work on transnational migrant domestic service has further drawn attention to the “international racial division of reproductive labour”, whereby racialized women from the global South have left their homes to care for the families of wealthy, mostly white women of the global North. Accounts of the kafala system, however, complicate not only divides of North/South, white/racialized, but also the category of femininity that is often presumed to be shared by both migrant domestic workers, and their Lebanese employers. Could it be that “woman” is a gendered subject differentially available across this divide? Drawing on a combination of fieldwork and popular media, I ask how we might start from the social landscape of migrant domestic servitude in order to better understand the intersectional, internally stratified nature of the female subject in Beirut.
