font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"'>This dissertation is about
artisanal fishers in Chorrillos, a small bay near the southern edge of Lima,
Peru, and how they use place as an instrument to defend their access to fishing
resources on Peru’s central coast. The context of this research work
includes global neoliberal influences on the Peruvian state and the negotiation
of global and local economics, politics, and social issues. Over the last
decade, depletion in fish stocks has led to tensions between industrial and
artisanal fishers, and demands from the industrial sector to reduce Peruvian
state protections for artisanal fishers. Not only are Chorrillos’s
fishers dealing with these problems, but they also face pressures from urban
elites and tourism developers who see the fishing dock, located in a highly
desirable area of Lima, as a space that could be put to lucrative use for urban
development projects. This study adds to the current literature on place-based
activism by providing an ethnographically grounded account of the struggles of
an urban community of artisanal fishers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:"TimesNewRomanPSMT","sans-serif"'>The research looks at how
artisanal fishers of Chorrillos construct and develop in their everyday life
sustainable strategies for maintaining their cultural and socioeconomic status.
Alternative policy pathways and guidelines useful to public officers and
non-government actors to better interpret fishing regulations and to issue
norms more in accord with the artisanal fishers’ situation are provided.
This dissertation will resonate broadly with scholars aiming to study marginal
local communities in less-developed countries using interdisciplinary and
creative frameworks. More specifically, while introducing fishers based in an
urban setting as environmental and political activists, this research brings
new elements to the Peruvian and Latin American scholarship on artisanal
fishing.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
