Ein Leben wie in den Alpen? Tiroler Siedler und Siedlerinnen im Dschungel von Peru
Abstract
The paper shows how an ethnic group in Pozuzo, an ancient colony, composed of Tyrolean and German settlers in the Peruvian jungle, re-create an alpine way of life. Evidence from the field in Pozuzo and Tyrol is used as a case study to illustrate how cultural resources linked to ‘alpine’ ways of life are constructed and claimed within the multi-ethnic rural community of Pozuzo as well as within Tyrolean NGOs.
