Débora Garazi. El revés de las vacaciones: hotelería, trabajo y género. Mar del Plata, segunda mitad del siglo XX. Bernal: Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, 2020

Abstract

In modern societies, vacations were shaped as a leisure time for rest and recreation. In Argentina, Mar del Plata, a seaside resort located in the southeast of the province of Buenos Aires, became an outstanding summer resort that, although it had an elitist social origin, underwent a process of democratization until it became, in the middle of the 20th century , in a capital of mass tourism, whose hidden face was a vast world of work. In The reverse of the holidays, Débora Garazi studies hotel work, in the city of Mar del Plata, during the second half of the 20th century, wondering about the work experiences of its protagonists.
