Note(s) : 4e de couverture: Palomitáy is an orphanage in highland Peru that provides a home
for unmarried mothers as young as twelve years old. In their ordinary lives, these
young women encounter diverse social expectations and face moral dilemmas. They endeavor
to create a 'good life' for themselves and their children in a context complicated
by competing demands, economic uncertainties, and structured relations of power. Drawing
on a year of qualitative on-site research, Krista E. Van Vleet offers a rich ethnography
of Palomitáy's young women. She pays particular attention to the moral entanglements
that emerge via people's efforts to provide care amid the inequalities and insecurities
of today's Peru. State and nonstate participants involved in the women's intimate
lives influence how the women see themselves as mothers, students, and citizens. Both
deserving of care and responsible for caring for others, the young women must navigate
practices interwoven with a range of a racial, gendered, and class hierarchies.Groundbreaking
and original, Hierarchies of Care highlights the moral engagement of young women seeking
to understand themselves and their place in society in the presence of circumstances
that are both precarious and full of hope
