It seems this was the wrong article. Having said that, it was still a very interesting one.<\/p>\n
The authors pick up on a theme discussed a few weeks back, and that is on the diversity of locations when it comes to Peruvian migration.<\/p>\n
What the article does well, and at the same time, is what makes it somewhat difficult, is the use of the Latin American Migration Project (LAMP). The LAMP is an extension of the Mexican Migration Project (MMP), which is a great tool when analyzing migration, mostly to the United States. The LAMP is a great offshoot since it attempts to capture the same thing done for the MMP into the LAMP. The authors do a good job in describing the shortcomings of the data available to them, while at the same time developing an analysis that concurs with Peruvian international migration as a whole, which is that it is mostly a middle-class phenomenon, while internal migration is mostly done by the working classes and the rural poor.<\/p>\n
I found it useful since it broke down different aspects of Peruvian migration such as educational level, geographical location, and sex. However, since it was mostly gathered with Lima province, and even though 1\/3 of the country resides in Lima, it can still be misleading. At the same time, though, it provided some good empirical data.<\/p>\n
I did find their double translation of salir adelante<\/em> peculiar since it need not necessarily mean going abroad. And since it is a play on words, I\u2019m wondering if it was used by those interviewed, or was it taken by the authors. Just wondering.<\/p>\n As far as a culture of emigration is concerned. I always wondered what this really means. In this case, it relates to a 30+ year period where Peru, and Latin America experienced violence and economic hardship through both internal and external forces. These forces created an environment where migration became as aspect of life. Is 30 years enough to state that a culture of emigration is in place? Take out external factors, and do people still want to leave?<\/p>\n What do you guys think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems this was the wrong article.
