AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Focusing on the district of Moho in Huancané Province on the northeastern shore of Lake Titicaca (department of Puno), Collins attempts to account for the fact that while the highland peasants produce coffee in the Tambopata Valley of southern Peru, they have not established permanent settlements there, preferring instead to travel seasonally to the area. Collins reviews the history of this migrational pattern and examines the nature of the social relationships in the highlands that make such migrations both necessary and possible. In addition she also attempts to show '…how migration has altered highland productive regimens and how continuing food production in the highlands affects migrants' use of resources in the lowland coffee region' (p. xii).
