In Peruvian Lives across Borders, M. Cristina Alcalde examines the
evolution of belonging and the making of home among middle- and
upper-class Peruvians in Peru, the United States, Canada, and
Germany. Alcalde draws on interviews, surveys, participant
observation, and textual analysis to argue that to belong is to
exclude. To that end, transnational Peruvians engage in both subtle
and direct policing along the borders of belonging. These acts
allow them to claim and maintain the social status they enjoyed in
their homeland even as they profess their openness and tolerance.
Alcalde details these processes and their origins in Peru's gender,
racial, and class hierarchies. As she shows, the idea of
return-whether desired or rejected, imagined or physical-spurs
constructions of Peruvianness, belonging, and home. Deeply
researched and theoretically daring, Peruvian Lives across Borders
answers fascinating questions about an understudied group of
migrants.
