ABSTRACT

We introduce this special issue of LACES by first offering a critical overview of recent work that engages questions of race and ethnicity in Peru. Against the backdrop of contemporary developments at the national level, we argue for a decolonial, intersectional approach that recognizes and theorizes differences that are complex and cross-cutting, embracing not only ethnoracial but also gender-, class-, and sexuality-based differences. Contributors to this issue offer diverse perspectives on commingled vectors of difference and inequality in a variety of settings, from Andean communities to lowland, urbanizing contexts, and from coastal, cosmopolitan Lima to Peru’s global diaspora. The pieces that follow our introduction include research articles, review essays, and interviews with performance artists and social activists, affording readers the opportunity to rethink with us the shifting landscape of race and ethnicity in Peru and beyond.

摘要

我们通过首先对涉及秘鲁种族和民族问题的近期工作进行批判性概述来介绍这期 LACES 特刊。在国家层面的当代发展背景下，我们主张采用非殖民化、交叉的方法，承认复杂和跨领域的差异并对其进行理论化，不仅包括种族差异，还包括基于性别、阶级和性的差异。这个问题的撰稿人提供了关于各种环境中差异和不平等的混合载体的不同观点，从安第斯社区到低地、城市化环境，从沿海、国际化的利马到秘鲁的全球侨民。我们介绍之后的文章包括研究文章、评论文章以及对表演艺术家和社会活动家的采访，
