In the last decades, the Latin American middle class is growing in
size while becoming more heterogeneous. Sustained economic growth
explains its increasing size, but behind its heterogeneity there is
not only the diversification of lifestyles, but also the
crystallization of a large process of upward social mobility of
second and third generation migrants to capital cities and their
incorporation into middle-class positions. In the last decades,
these individuals are now part of the different spheres of
socialization formerly occupied by the traditional middle class:
private schools, college and universities, middle-class jobs and
occupations, and traditional middle-class neighborhoods. To explore
the genesis of this phenomenon and its consequences, the author
studies Residential San Felipe, a quintessential traditional
middle-class neighborhood in Lima, Peru, which is currently
receiving an important influx of upwardly mobile families. The case
of San Felipe shows that inside the contemporary middle class a
strong boundary between the "traditional middle class" and the "new
middle class" permeates the everyday life of the neighborhood.
However, though this difference between the "traditional" and "new
middle class" is recognized by all residents of San Felipe, its
relevance as well as the elements at the basis of this distinction
varies.
