Experiencias de discriminación laboral hacia jóvenes profesionales con cabello afro-rizado en Lima, Perú
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-06-28) Guevara Villamar, Fiorella; Higashi Suárez, Ana Sofía; Peña Mendoza, Nicolet; Pérez Guerra, Joaquín; Ramírez Roca, Renzo; Ramos Gomez, Javier Alonso
Racism is a current problem that generates structures of violence and structural inequality; it directly affects the individual experiences and quality of life of afro-descendant individuals. One of the ways in which this system expressed itself is in labor discrimination. Within the workplace, aesthetic categories such as “good presence” are often used to justify discrimination against individuals who, supposedly, do not fit into a professional climate. This article’s objective is to reflect on the experiences of labor discrimination against young Afro-Peruvian professionals because of their afro-curly hair in Metropolitan Lima. From the dialogue with the interviewees, it was found that the rejection of people with afro-curly hair in work spaces occurs implicitly and explicitly. This is based on stereotypes and prejudiced attitudes, and results in discrimination, which ends up reproducing and reinforcing racist structures. Faced with these, young people generate strategies that consist in the modification of their bodies, which bring consequences for the construction of their identity.

Vivienda e informalidad urbana: el caso de Airbnb y sus posibles impactos en un distrito de Lima
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-11-22) Pérez Guerra, Joaquín
Recent studies have considered urban informality as a multidimensional problem, and have discussed whether it is really a deviation or externality of formality. The objective of this essay is to prove that Airbnb’s operation in Lima occurs in a rental market where private and state actors co-produce informality to satisfy their interests. First, the argument is presented that Airbnb exploits local conditions of informality in contexts of deregulation, as well as state ambiguity in order to facilitate accumulation processes. From this, secondly, it is argued that the presence of Airbnb has serious effects on the production of the city: urban investment, gentrification, construction and residentiality. To do this, the possible impact of Airbnb in the Barranco district is analyzed. It is concluded that: i) informality is a modus operandi of urban planning by the State and private actors, and that it is not separated from the formal system, and ii) that Airbnb activity has bidirectional effects on socio-spatial aspects. of the general rental market such as investment in urban housing, gentrification and residentiality. Attempting a more detailed understanding of the various dimensions of urban informality in Peru is an urgent exercise, especially if we consider that the phenomenon of informality is a recurring and primary concern in discussions about public and economic policies, as well as in deliberation policy.
