"Impressive and highly engaging. Hits all the right notes as it takes up transnational migration, a shifting sense of home, and what Cristina Alcalde persuasively calls exclusionary cosmopolitanism among middle class Peruvians."--Florence E. Babb, author of The Tourism Encounter: Fashioning Latin American Nations and Histories
"A compelling ethnographic case study of middle- and upper-class Peruvian migration to the United States, Canada, and Germany. Alcalde offers her readers a unique analysis of the gendered and sexuality-driven intricacies of return."--Ulla Berg, author of Mobile Selves: Migration, Race, and Belonging in Peru and the US
