description: This is a fascinating social anthropological study of the migration of Peruvian highlanders to the jungle east of the Andes and to urban coastal areas in and around Lima. Departing from traditional approaches, Sarah Skar emphasizes the individual problems within the new communities. Workingwithin this context, she goes on to analyze significant themes for this group of migrants, namely the traditional conceptions of separations and connectedness.
