“…The spatialization processes in Lima and Buenos Aires reflect a broader Latin American class and racialization process stemming from colonial times. More broadly, the racialization processes at work result in high levels of discrimination against and exclusion of indigenous and Afro-Latin populations throughout the region (Hooker 2005;Rowell, Jones, and Carrillo 2011). As Hoffman and Centeno have proposed, given the persistent unequal distribution of resources, it is not difficult to recognize that 'inequity is the essential, constant, and defining characteristic of the region' (Hoffman and Centeno 2003, 381), particularly as we consider that a much higher proportion of the region's population is concentrated in one or two cities in each country as compared to Asian and African countries (Hardoy and Pandiella 2009).…”

Transnational lives include not only the mobility of individuals, but of racialized discourses that reinforce and sustain inequalities and exclusion. Building on the seminal work of migration scholars Grosfoguel, Oso, and Christou, this article brings together Quijano's coloniality of power with cultural critic Aviles's insights on contemporary forms of discrimination and anthropologist Briones's conceptualization of 'internal Others' to center racialization in approaching contemporary middle-class Peruvian identities across borders. I suggest that similarly to how racialization is key to the processes of creating internal Others in Peru, middle-class Peruvians seek to assert higher status in relation to other migrants in the U.S. and Canada by employing discourses of indigeneity and internal Others. These forms of status-marking through racialization and differentiation are central to contemporary peruanidad within and beyond Peru's physical borders, and to understanding the role of race, racism, and coloniality of thought among Peruvians outside Peru.
