This chapter focuses on daily life in the residence and examines the ways that Palomitáy shapes caring by and caring for young mothers. Drawing on Morgan and Roberts’s concept of “reproductive governance,” the chapter describes the mundane practices and modes of caring for infants and toddlers as well as opportunities offered to young mothers, including formal education and enrichment activities. The support offered by Palomitáy may remove young women from precarious and even dangerous circumstances and enable girls to pursue aspirations for the future. Simultaneously, these opportunities and orientations govern care and are saturated by relationships of hierarchy, including racialized discourses of modernity and affective interaction between mother and child.

This chapter reflects on the broad implications of an ethnography of young mothers who are placed by the state into a residence run by an international humanitarian organization. It concludes by discussing the lives of young women once they leave Palomitáy, and argues that attention to moral experience and intimate involvement enables a deeper understanding of the entanglement of affective relationships and social, political, and economic inequality in individual lives. The chapter suggests that attention to young mothers challenges anthropological research on relatedness in the Andes. Highlighting youth as social agents who do the labor of care, even as they are positioned as vulnerable and in need of care, extends understanding of intimate arenas and state power and the emergence of moral experience in ordinary interactions.

This chapter explores the ways young women come to see themselves as mothers through a focus on three individuals’ perspectives. In spite of the home’s emphasis on a mother-and-child unit, young women understand themselves and their relationships in variable ways. The chapter extends theoretical discussions of subjectivity as dynamic and partial. Attending to subjectivities of motherhood challenges notions of biological relationship that in part structure how these individuals are positioned by the NGO and the state. Highlighting individuals’ talk and actions, the chapter shows that girls mobilize various discourses of being a good person and doing their best for their child in interactions with each other and with staff and volunteers in this humanitarian organization.

This introductory chapter reflects on three strands of scholarship that shape analysis of moral experience and care among young mothers. The chapter begins with the story of a young mother who expresses her desire to live on her own, just with her child, a statement that challenges ideals of Andean relatedness and hegemonic Hispanic ideologies of patriarchal families. This story sets the stage to argue that moral engagement is part of ordinary life. Attention to broad structural inequalities and the micro-politics of interactions are crucial to account for the complex meanings of her statement and the moral and practical dilemmas she, and other young mothers, face in the Peruvian Andes. In addition to detailing the ethnographic context, research methodology, and ethics, the chapter incorporates discussion of recent anthropological scholarship on morality; on the dialogical or joint production of language, subjectivity, and sociality; and on reproduction, relatedness, and the intimate labor of care.

This chapter draws on phenomenological approaches to “dwelling in” and envisioning the world to ask how young women’s participation in photography workshops might offer a window onto the dynamic production of subjectivities (as mothers, or not). In a photography workshop, young women produce retablos, or portraits of themselves as Madonna and child. The chapter juxtaposes the structured activities of a workshop (organized by an international NGO) with more informal use of point-and-shoot digital cameras (which was integrated into this research project). Reflecting on the activity of taking photos, as well as the representational aspects of images themselves, demonstrates girls’ creative expression and experimentation as well as the moral dialogues in which visions of self are embedded.
