Peruvian Grassroots Organizations in Times of Violence and Peace. Between Economic Solidarity, Participatory Democracy, and Feminism
The new millennium has meant a new start for Peruvian society. After decades of political violence, economic crisis, and an internal war, democracy was restored, and economic growth resumed.

In particular, it shows that ethnic identity should not be l…

L'ouvrage montre que les processus de la mondialisation …
Transferring Risks, Microproduction, and Subcontracting in the Footwear and Garment Industries of Lima, Peru
The soft sound of hammering and the smell of glue indicate that in the Vargas' home, partly constructed of reed mats, shoes are being produced. The brother of the owner and two other workers, seated on little stools under a provisional roof in the yard, are assembling shoes. The owner himself is absent, for he is delivering an order to the multinational Calzado Superior. Next he will go to a fellow shoemaker who will stitch the uppers for him. Me…
