lt;p>This book analyses how a peasant community in Peru lives the transformations induced by a mining project. Among others, the community excluded some members. Drawing on ethnographic methods and the emic interpretation of happenings, the author examines how the community's concept of belonging is influenced by return migration and gender.
lt;p>This ethnographic book deals with mining, return migration and gender in a Peruvian comunidad campesina, i.e. peasant community. This comunidad lived multiple transformations due to a mining project. As one of the changes, the comunidad invented a system of two membership categories. Thereby, they changed their concept of belonging and excluded some of those who thought of themselves as members. Drawing on fieldwork, participant observation, interviews and life stories, the author analyses how the comunidad interpreted the mining-induced transformations, how the concept and functions of their comunidad were altered and why belonging became such a central issue. She shows how belonging is a marker of social hierarchies and influenced by gender inequalities.
