LA INMIGRACIÓN PERUANA EN EL URUGUAYSegún el censo de 1996, residían en el Uruguay 528 peruanos. Se trata de la comunidad de

inmigrantes más importante en términos cuantitativos, de las cinco estudiadas en esta investigación.

La migración de peruanos al Uruguay aumentó notoriamente en los años posteriores al último censo.

Tanto las autoridades del Consulado de Perú como los entrevistados integrantes de la comunidad

peruana, coincidieron en que, en el momento del estudio, residían alrededor de 2500 personas de esa

nacionalidad, mayoritariamente en Montevideo. El Consulado habló de una avalancha de peruanos,

presumiblemente motivada por las dificultades económicas y políticas que atravesó aquél país en la

década de los 90. En una entrevista concedida al periódico El Observador a comienzos de 2001,

fuentes del Consulado afirmaron que: “hasta hace un año arribaban unos 10 peruanos

mensualmente. Hoy día llega un promedio de 20 por semana”8.

China: The Wu FamilyThe nine members of this extended family—father Wu Ba Jiu (59), mother Guo Yu Xian (57), their sons, daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—live in a three-bedroom, 600-square-foot dwelling in rural Yunnan Province. While they have no telephone, they get news and images of a wider world through two radios and the family's most prized possession, a television. In the future, they hope to get one with a 30-inch screen as well as a VCR, a refrigerator, and drugs to combat diseases in the carp they raise in their ponds. Not included in the photo are their 100 mandarin trees, vegetable patch, and three pigs.

Mali: The Natomo FamilyIt is not unusual in this West African country for men to have two wives, as 39-year-old Soumana Natomo does. More wives mean more

progeny—and a greater chance you will be supported in old age. Soumana now has eight children, and his wives, Pama Kondo (28) and Fatouma Niangani Toure (26), will likely have more. How many of these children will survive, though, is uncertain: Mali's infant mortality rate ranks among the ten highest in the world. Some of the family's possessions are not included in this photo—another mortar and pestle for pounding grain, two wooden mattress platforms, 30 mango trees, and old radio batteries that the children use as toys. (Note: The Natomos appear on the adobe roof of their house in Kouakourou. An infant son is nestled in his mother's arms. One daughter is absent.)

Japan: The Ukita FamilyLike many Japanese women, 43-year-old Sayo Ukita had children relatively late in life. Her youngest daughter is now in kindergarten, not yet burdened by the pressures of exams and Saturday "cram school" that face her nine-year-old sister. Sayo is supremely well-organized, which helps her manage the busy schedules of her children and maintain order in their 1,421-square-foot Tokyo home stuffed with clothes, appliances, and an abundance

of toys for both her daughters and dog. She and her husband Kazuo, 45, have all the electronic and gas-powered conveniences of modern life, but their most cherished possessions are a ring and heirloom pottery. The family's wish for the future: a larger house with more storage space.

From coverage of revisit to Material World Project family in Japan, 2001. {{Sayo Ukita and her husband Kazuo continue to live in the manicured suburb of northwest Tokyo called Kodaira City. Their daughter Mio is a first year university student, concentrating on biology (her first field experience, in May, was milking a cow). Daughter Maya, 14, attends 8th grade and still plays the piano. Neither girl swims competitively any longer. The family has replaced a great deal of their belongings since the original big picture was taken, hence the large number of items in the Material World 2001 big picture. Their dog Izumaru has died, but they did not replace him. Mio has a new laptop for school, and both girls have mobile phones. The Nintendo game player is still hooked up to the family’s extra television set in the dining room, but it is not used as often as it had been when the girls were younger. The parents have a television in their bedroom that Kazuo watched when he was bedridden with a back ailment and a problem with his pancreas, and he has a massage chair set up in the corner of the living room though it isn’t used much since his injuries have healed. The Ukita’s have a new car, but Kazuo continues to take the train to work, and Sayo rides her bicycle to the market every day—a three minute ride—to buy her family’s food.
