Peruvian migration, job in the construction and production of space in the city of Córdoba, Argentina

Abstract

This article sets out to analyze the link between labor trajectories in construction sector of Peruvian migrants in the city of Cordoba (Argentina) and the production of the space where these migrants manage their daily life. Based on a qualitative field work sustained over time in a peripheral neighborhood of that city, this paper shows the way in which certain labor insertions work as strategic resources for migrant families in order to reproduce their migration project, guarantee their permanence in destination places and resolve the right to the city through the production of space. In particular, the resources migrants obtain from construction work, allow different strategies of life reproduction, familiar and communal, in the framework of an increasing unequal city.
