Produktbeschreibung

"How is belonging to nation and home inflected both by privilege and marginalization across borders? What identities and constructions of home are at stake in the process of inclusion and exclusion embodied by transnational Peruvians? Employing return asa critical lens, Paradoxes of Belonging: Transnational Peruvians, Exclusion, and Home examines processes of belonging and home-making specifically among middle and upper class transnational Peruvians in Peru, the United States, Canada, and Germany. This book includes both Peruvians who have returned to Lima with the intent of permanently living there and those who reject the possibility of a permanent return. At its core, this multi-sited study argues that to belong is to exclude, and that transnational middle and upper class Peruvians both directly experience and engage in subtle and more direct policing of borders of belonging.
