Building a Non-Farmhouse: Labor Migration, Construction, and the Decline of Peasant Agriculture in Rural Peru
This paper examines how residential architecture engages with lifestyles and livelihoods, permitting some activities while foreclosing others. Focusing on houses built by Teodora, her father, and her son in the Peruvian peasant community of Allpachico, I show how experiences of migration paid for and informed the designs of, and materials used in, each house, while structuring the social relations and aspirations of their owners. Farming remains …

Response to María Inés Fernández Álvarez: Building from heterogeneity: the decomposition and recomposition of the working class viewed from the “popular economy” in Argentina
Getting by or getting ahead
Peru's economy is booming because of natural resource extraction, without providing formal employment. Instead, increased state revenues fund social spending. This case study shows how cash transfers are integrated into intergenerational reciprocities that are essential to social reproduction in ways that promote financialization: their inadequacy may necessitate loans which the regular disbursements can repay. Recipients hoping to get by tend to…
Pensions, Peasants, and the Informal Economy: Family and Livelihood in Contemporary Peru
A Peruvian case study explores how urban informal workers negotiate their livelihoods as they age, highlighting reciprocity among urban informal workers, retired formal sector workers, and peasants in a pattern of rural-urban circular migration. Labor-intensive mining in the twentieth century created a proletarian workforce that included men from the peasant community of Allpachico. Their wages became an anchor for kin-linked clusters of househol…
Transformations of collectivism and individualism in the Peruvian central Andes: A comunidad over three decades
Andean peoples have a longstanding reputation for collective spirit, while the pressures of capitalism and the modern state are seen to promote individualism. This article uses fieldwork from over three decades in the Peruvian comunidad campesina I call Allpachico to examine how collectivist and individualist behaviour have intertwined and transformed. Over this time, governments and NGOs have facilitated and discouraged different collective form…
The Rise and Irrelevance of the State: Political Views from a Peasant Community of the 2016 Peruvian Presidential Election
This case study of a peasant community in the Peruvian central highlands examines how vibrant political engagement in the 1970s became indifference during the 2016 Peruvian presidential election. It focuses on changing livelihood activities over the past three decades. Thirty years ago, community incomes were based on farming and wage labor, and community members were activists in worker-peasant organizations to achieve better market and work con…
Mobility of the elderly in Peru: Life course, labour and the rise of a pensioner economy in a Peruvian peasant community
This case study combines economic and life course history to highlight new forms of inequality. While a previous generation of industrial workers had jobs with benefits, their children have become a precariat. Peru is no exception, despite its booming resource economy. In a context of continuing strong inter-generational ties, pensioners from the community of Allpachico support their precariat children and receive personalized elder care in retur…
An Infant Femur Bearing Cut Marks from Roman Hambleden, England: Cut-Marked Infant Femur
A perinatal infant skeleton from the first–fourth century AD Roman villa site at Hambleden, England, shows what appear to be cut marks on the proximal part of the right femur. Gross, microscopic and micro-computed tomography evaluations suggest that they occurred perimortem and were probably caused by a non-serrated blade. The reason for the cuts is uncertain, but their location is consistent with the practice of embryotomy, as described in class…
Why Beautify the Plaza? Reproducing Community in Decentralized Neoliberal Peru
Peruvian development and government analysts criticize communities for irrationally using local development funds deriving from recently instituted political decentralization to beautify their villages rather than to improve infrastructural services, education and health, or to alleviate poverty. This paper challenges this critique by explaining why such cosmetic improvements are of interest to rural people. Using a case study of the peasant comm…
A possible case of treponemal disease from England dating to the 11th-12th century AD
This short report describes a human skeleton from an archaeological site in England showing signs of treponemal disease. A radiocarbon determination indicates that it is firmly pre-Columbian in date. The implications for recent debates concerning the origin of treponemal disease in Europe are discussed. Copyright (c) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Participatory budgeting in Peru
Touted as a means to extend democracy to previously disenfranchised people, participatory budgeting actually covers a variety of motivations and effects. This article explores diverse reactions and meanings through a case study of the Peruvian peasant community of Allpalumichico. Although the economic system embedded in the legal requirements of the Peruvian participatory budgeting process derives from the global neoliberal agenda, the actual pra…
Minimal Treatment Approaches for Concerned Significant Others of Problem Gamblers: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Dressing the Elite: Dressing the Elite Clothes in Early Modern England
Clothing occupies a complex and important position in relation to human experience. Not just utilitarian, dress gives form to a society's ideas about the sacred and secular, about exclusion and inclusion, about age, beauty, sexuality and status. In Dressing the Elite, the author explores the multiple meanings that garments held in early modern England. Clothing was used to promote health and physical well-being, and to manage and structure, life …
Preserving Domesticity: Reading Tupperware in Women's Changing Domestic, Social and Economic Roles
L'image représentée par Tupperware est essentiellement féminine. Cet article analyse la littérature entourant Tupperware pour y retrouver cette image de la fémininité de classe moyenne, euronord‐américaine et domestique. L'analyse de cette littérature se fait en tenant compte des changements et continuités, au cours des 50 dernières années, des rôles domestiques, économiques et sociaux des femmes nord‐américaines. Ces rôles domestiques et économi…
A Health Intervention on Latina Spiritual Well-Being Constructs: An Evaluation
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a colonia community Latina educational intervention on the religious and existential constructs of spiritual well-being while recognizing acculturative status. Randomly assigned study participants were composed of one control (community, n = 105) and two experimental (alumni, n = 41; intervention, n = 84) groups. Data were gathered through religious and existential well-being and acculturat…
Flexible Families: Capitalist Development and Crisis in Rural Peru
In the Peruvian peasant community of Mata Chico, participation in the national economy over the twentieth century has transformed family relations. As people first adapted to an emerging capitalist economy, and then to a crisis in that economy, a family "community of interest" in farming gave way to "complementary interests" among parents and children, women and men. In pursuing complementary interests, younger family members undertake economic a…
Gender Ideologies and the Informal Economy: Reproduction and the "Grapes-of-Wrath Effect" in Mata Chico, Peru
John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath ends with Rose of Sharon Joad breastfeeding a man debilitated by the effects of the Great Depression of the 1930s. In the course of the novel, as men's roles in providing for their families disintegrate, women, in the form of Ma Joad and later Rose of Sharon, as those responsible for the daily reproductive needs of their households, take on increasing importance. They undertake old activities in new ways…
Working Women: International Perspectives on Labour and Gender Ideology
Le plan orbitaire chez l'adulte jeune, sa position relative à d'autres éléments architecturaux de la tête. Etude vestibulaire
Par l'intermédiaire des coordonnées vestibulaires des points, la pente de l'axe de l'orbite a été étudiée, en projection sagittale, sur 52 adultes jeunes du Nord de la France, orientés in vivo. Elle a été comparée à celle de neuf autres plans, pour en tirer les angulations réciproques, et notamment d'éventuels parallélismes. Les distances entre ces plans ont encore fait l'objet de nos recherches, en vue d'une meilleure précision dans le positionn…
