“…La literatura reciente (Durand, 2010;Paerregaard, 2013;Takenaka, Paerregaard, y Berg, 2010) coincide en identificar a la emigración peruana con dos dimensiones fundamentales: el carácter pluriclasista del flujo migratorio y la multiplicidad de destinos; esta diversidad en la composición de clase del flujo migratorio también se observó en la Ciudad de Córdoba (Bologna y Falcón, 2016;Falcon y Bologna, 2013;Gómez y Sánchez Soria, 2016, 2017. Durand (2010), señala que fue durante los años 80 del siglo XX, y especialmente en la década de 1990, que Perú comenzó el proceso de volverse un país con altas tasas de emigración; se trata de un período en que la población peruana en Estados Unidos, Japón y España triplicó su cantidad en menos de 10 años.…”

Objetivo: analizar la incorporación laboral de los migrantes peruanos en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, en el periodo 2001-2010. Métodos: Se realiza análisis estadístico descriptivo en la primera fase y análisis de correspondencias múltiples en la segunda fase (ACM), ambos en perspectiva comparada con la población nativa. Resultados: los hombres aumentan la participación en la industria, tanto los nativos como los migrantes. Sin embargo, en mayor magnitud para los hombres peruanos. Las mujeres nativas ven poco alterada su estructura ocupacional en el periodo. Para las mujeres nacidas en Perú el movimiento hacia el sector de la industria también se aprecia. Sin embargo, el rasgo más destacable para este grupo es la desconcentración de la categoría más frecuente: el trabajo doméstico, en un proceso que va en dirección a diversificar el espectro de ocupaciones. Conclusiones: en relación a los migrantes peruanos, el clivaje de género presenta estabilidad como un mecanismo que explica las inserciones diferenciales, donde las mujeres persisten en ocupaciones específicas en el periodo considerado. Esto apoya la hipótesis de una incorporación segmentada para las mujeres. Sin embargo, también se observa una variación, ya que aunque la categoría más frecuente sea el trabajo doméstico en ambos momentos censales, la menor proporción de ellas allí empleadas en el 2010, indica que otras ocupaciones adquieren relevancia. En el caso de los hombres el principal rasgo es el trasvase hacia la industria.

“…This coincides with the principal reasons for emigrating reported by Peruvian migrants aged 50 years and older in the WSPCA (2012), where 38.4 per cent said the family and 32 per cent the improvement of their economic situation was their main motivation to emigrate. Although it remains an empirical question whether these individuals constitute generational units, they share longer pre-migration biographies, as well as a 'fresh contact' with the host country relatively late in life (Paerregaard 2014). An important pull factor for Peruvian migrants, primarily for women of different ages, has been the relatively good prospect of finding a job as a care worker.…”

“…An important pull factor for Peruvian migrants, primarily for women of different ages, has been the relatively good prospect of finding a job as a care worker. In fact, women care workers spearheaded Peruvian migration to many countries, including the USA (Paerregaard 2008), Chile (Stefoni 2002), Italy (Skornia 2014) and Spain (Escrivá 2000). The large number of Peruvian women working in this sector is one reason why women outnumber men in most of the main destination countries, as indicated by the gender ratio.…”

Migrant family visits and the life course: interrelationships between age, capacity and desire

Migrant visits to the country of origin play a crucial role in transnational family cohesion and migrant well‐being; the research on them so far has focused primarily on the relationship between migrant integration and transnational engagement. In this article, I extend the discussion by adding a life course perspective to Carling and Hoelscher's (2013) framework for studying transnational activities, which incorporates capacity and desire. I explore whether age has an independent effect on migrants' family visits and how it relates to socio‐economic resources, migration status and transnational ties. Using data from a survey of Peruvian migrants around the globe (n=7,741), I show that migrants' stage in the life course has a partial effect on their propensity to travel through the interrelationship between age, capacity and desire. The findings show that the capacity and desire of migrants to visit their country of origin are particularly strong after reaching retirement age, suggesting a favourable combination of resources at later stages in life. However, whether this expresses a positive approach to ageing, or is a strategy to balance transnational family obligations and to postpone return decisions, remains open for future research.

“…Building effective coalitions between environmental and social justice action groups that work toward similar outcomes can be challenging and fraught with differing opinions, ideologies, strategies, constructed identities, and motivations (Carney, 2016;J. E. Crowley, 2009;Florini, 2015;Mayer, 2009;Nagle, 2008;Nicholls, 2013;Paerregaard, 2014;K. J. Powell, 2016;Rickford, 2016;Stolle-McAllister, 2007;Yanay & Lifshitz-Oron, 2008).…”

“…These socio-cultural components-white guilt (WG), white fragility (WF) and colorblind racial ideology (CBRI)-are problematic and can evoke strong feelings of anger, fear, shame, apathy, and aggression. These three socio-cultural phenomena often can create polarization between groups and organizations; common ties or goals once held by the involved parties are subject to split and fracture the very collective nature of what brought them together to work in community effort in the first place (J. E. Crowley, 2009;Mayer, 2009;Nagle, 2008;Nicholls, 2013;Paerregaard, 2014;Stolle-McAllister, 2007;Yanay & Lifshitz-Oron, 2008). Inherent in this breaking apart of coalition are the intersectional elements of incongruent generational experience, differing ideological approaches, ethno-cultural identity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and other seemingly discordant strands that lead to conflict and splintering between and within group dynamics (J. E. Crowley, 2009;Mayer, 2009;Nagle, 2008;Nicholls, 2013;Paerregaard, 2014;Stolle-McAllister, 2007;Yanay & Lifshitz-Oron, 2008).…”

Using frameworks from critical race theory, social movement theory, and community-based activism, this thesis explores the phenomena of white fragility, white guilt, and colorblind racial ideology and how they impact the ways predominantly whiteidentified social and environmental justice organizations approach, build, and maintain solidarity with communities of color in Santa Cruz County, California. A qualitative approach was employed to investigate the experiences of white-identified activists and how they attempt to engage in this constantly challenging process. Using twenty-two semi-structured interviews and eight group observations, I explored how white-identified individuals negotiate the transformation from 'moral passivity' to meaningful, personal relationships with people of color (POC). The research shows remarkable differences in responses by white-identified individuals in public space (implicit bias/overtly racialized comments) versus private space (self-reflection, drive toward self-education, willingness to forge authentic relationships with POC). The research also uncovers possible implications for how the intrapersonal dismantling of racialized thought systems on an individual basis may impact group coalition-building processes. More research is warranted, however, in the exploration of how these implications may translate to concrete strategies in the toolkits of predominantly white-identified environmental and social justice organizations. v ACKNLOWLEDGMENTS Without the help and support of the many individuals involved, this modest body of research would not have been possible. First, I would like to extend my gratitude to my life partner and spouse Gerald Francis Casel, who was, and is presently, an inspiration and a pillar of strength during a time when I thought I couldn't return to school or even think about completing a graduate program. Next, I want to express my deepest appreciation to my thesis chair, Dr. Jason Douglas, who encouraged me, through the many incarnations of thesis proposals, to take the ball on this project and run with it. The breadth and depth of his dedication to the most marginalized communities among us never cease to amaze me and keep me rooted to these ideals as my lodestar. Thanks also to Dr. Will Russell, not only for the mountainside philosophical discussions, but also for the patience and keen eye which were invaluable in the preening out of all the unnecessary material that eventually led me to this project. Thanks go as well to Dr. Natalie Boero, whose impeccable ability to ask the right questions and whose unparalleled skill in qualitative investigation dropped enough breadcrumbs my way to lead me out of the forest right into her office so I could complete my thesis committee. I am grateful and in awe of the many ways that each of you inspire your students. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS
