Synopsis
This article explores the emergence of a ‘moral panic’ (Cohen 1972) in Peru. Resulting from a high influx of Venezuelans over the last few years, fear has spread like wildfire, where politicians have increasingly instrumentalized this for their own political gains.
The article is co-written with Dr. Luisa Feline Freier at the Universidad del Pacifico (Political and Social Sciences) in Lima, Peru.
