Based on the findings of a qualitative research with Peruvian women and men in the city of Cordoba, Argentina, this article explores the links between heterosexual male migrants and the world of work, particularly sewing, analyzing the implications of certain work paths on the marks that configure femininity and masculinity in immigration and social exclusion contexts. From the case study of a migrant family of tailors, the article reflects on work experiences in relation to the practice and meaning of masculine identity and the resistance men deployed against the feminization of their activity. To this end, it goes back to the career paths in the origin (Peru) and the destination (Argentina), recognizing the existence of labor markets that in certain occupations are connected due to the existence of ethnic and national labor networks constituted by an important set of people who were first internal and then international migrants. |
