This chapter focuses on the implicit and explicit ways that individuals navigate moral dilemmas and produce gendered and racialized identities. Analysis centers on the performance of a play, “Natasia’s Story,” a dramatic rendering of “a mother like us” for an audience of staff, children, and volunteers. This play was collaboratively created, produced, and performed by young women at Palomitáy. Holding the words of characters (in various scenes) in tension with the situation (a theatrical performance) shows how the unspoken assumptions and embedded dialogues of characters and performers are entangled with institutional configurations of power. Attention to the micro-politics of interactions illuminates young women’s sense of themselves as daughters (as well as mothers) and the simultaneous negotiation of moral dilemmas and social hierarchies.

This chapter describes contemporary Peru, and the highland Andean region, as the wider context in which the residence, Palomitáy, is situated. The chapter first explains the particularities of gender, racial, and class discourses in the postcolonial and neoliberal context of Peru. To recognize the multiple trajectories of inequality at various scales (from local to national and global) that configure this place and young women’s lives, the chapter considers three dimensions of everyday life. Recent historical events, social structures, and individual experiences of migration and mobility, reproductive politics and everyday violence, and humanitarianism and insecurity link the lives of girls in Palomitáy with the lives of girls and women in Peru, more generally.
