Abstract
GAGO HIDALGO, Danilo. Middle classes, mestizos and migrants: Residential strategies in departmental club’s associates during the 1970-1980 decades in Lima. Apuntes [online]. 2024, vol.51, n.96, pp.5-36. Epub Jan 31, 2024. ISSN 0252-1865. http://dx.doi.org/10.21678/apuntes.96.1858.
This article explores two significant issues in Lima: social differentiation and middle-class neighbourhoods. In a context of urban unpredictability, it addresses the residential strategies carried out by ancashinos, puneños and huancaínos during Lima's 1970 and 1980 decades. Reviewing the residential criteria, such as the material neighbourhood conditions, the urban location and the resident families' features, it was identified that social class, ethnic group and social origin were fundamental categories when choosing neighbourhoods. The residential strategies allow to delve into the homogeneity of the city's central area and explore the social differences within the middle classes.
