and foreign language pedagogy and a

BA in Linguistics at the National
University of San Marcos, Peru. Her
research interests are language
navigation in relation to indigenous
identities in urban and immigrant
spaces. Specifically, her work aims to
raise awareness about the Quechua and
Andean cultures as well as to contribute
to the revitalization of the Quechua
language.

This study explores the trajectory of

Quechua indigenous people from the
Peruvian Andes to Lima, the centralized
capital of Peru, in order to get access to
social, educational, and/or economic
resources, which is a highly common
mobility dynamic in Peru. Specifically,
the study is grounded in the community
of Leticia which is home to a significant
number of indigenous Quechua
population with an internal migration
pattern that suffers from systematic
discrimination due to their origins, and
the geographical location of their
neighborhood in Lima.

Systemic racism against the native

Peruvian population is a tangible and
normalized practice in Lima society that
translates to poor academic outcomes

and economic segregation. Despite that

Peru is one of the countries with a
higher rate of Amerindian population,
the discrimination against this
“majority” is systematic. This social issue
is even more evident in the way that
languages are treated. While Spanish
speakers enjoy a high symbolic power,
Quechua speakers, who comprise more
than 8 million people in South America
and are the main indigenous population
of Peru, suffer from symbolic violence on
a daily basis. They are portrayed as
inferiors, pushed to learn Spanish in a
process of extractive bilingualism, and
constrained to reject/hide their
indigeneity. These discriminative
practices are legitimized directly and
indirectly across institutions making
these practices systematic.

In this study, I build on an ethnographic

and community-engaged approach that
encompasses interviews and
observations, in order to understand
how the Quechua population that
migrated to Lima make sense of their
experiences and indigeneity. I especially
focus on how indigenous Quechua
migrants from the Leticia neighborhood
build their narratives of migration to
Lima and how their internal migration
