OLAVARRIA, María Eugenia. Mexican Surrogates and the Concept of Reproductive Labor. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.4, e144.  Epub 15-Jan-2018. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eg.v4i0.144.

This article explores the meanings of surrogacy motherhood in Mexico throughout its actor’s practices and author’s discourses. The comparisons and analogies established with the mother, the nurse, the concubine and the prostitute are now confronted with testimonies based on an ethnographic fieldwork developed by the author in two Mexican cities, Villahermosa, Tabasco and Mexico City during 2015-2016. Finally, this article proposes that surrogates women, as a relative modern character, can be understood as a face of the reproductive labor sequence.
