Dr. Andrea Roman Alfaro will be presenting a chapter from their current book manuscript. The chapter employs archives, ethnography, interviews, and secondary historical sources to examine how Callao, the district with the second-highest homicide rate in Peru, has come to be understood—and governed—as a site of danger and violence.
