Abstract
LONG, NORMAN. TRANSNATIONAL LIVELIHOODS, ORGANIZING PRACTICES, AND SOCIAL REMITTANCES IN CENTRAL PERU. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.2, pp.337-372. ISSN 0486-6525.
This article examines issues of migration and translocal livelihoods in Peru . Migration constitutes an ongoing process of adaptation between networks of family and community over space and time, and requires an in-depth understanding of the nature of translocality as experienced by the particular actors involved. Based on diachronic genealogical ethnographic work, it adopts an actor-oriented analysis to understand the relations and cultural practices involved in articulating migrants with those who stay home.
Keywords : Migration; actor-oriented analysis; genealogies; remittances; Peru.
