- Synopsis
-
The aim of this book is to examine how Peruvian migrants living in different parts of the world use their savings and experience in Peru as well as to the development of their regions of origin and new countries of settlement.
The book's title, Return to Sender, refers to the money that migrants send to their relatives and communities in Peru. But even though the sending of remittances is the book's main them, it also explores another less-documented aspect of migration: the many talents that Peruvian migrants mobilize to achieve their goals. The book is therefore not only a study of why and how migrants remit money home, but also an account of the ways they make their dreams come true and hereby enrich the surrounding society.
