摘要 This article delves into the relations that shape Indigenous care workers’ experiences of moral distress related to providing care to Indigenous elderly people in Taiwan, a context fraught with colonialism. Ethnographic data from four Indigenous “Day Clubs” reveal that care workers’ moral distress is a product of contradictions between the state-funded and organized program’s stated professional mission and the workers’ Indigenous consciousness. We argue that these workers’ distress in everyday care work is a collective response to the system’s colonial nature, suggesting that moral distress can inspire and stimulate acts of anticolonial resistance. This paper is part of the SPE special theme “Decent care work: politics, policy, and resistance.”
