DESCRIPTION:Grace Alexandrino Ocaña\, PhD\n\nChancellor´s postdoctoral fe
 llow at University of California\, Santa Cruz\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nPrecolon
 ial sites in Peru\, called huacas\, have long been under attack by destruc
 tive forces\, from Spanish colonizers to commercial developers. However\, 
 state officials and archaeologists tend to hold informal settlers–called
  “invasores\,” or invaders–responsible for the destruction of these 
 huacas. This talk explores how mainstream approaches to huaca conservation
 \, enforced by Peruvian authorities and archaeologists\, discriminate agai
 nst the lower-\, middle-\, and working-class residents who self-created th
 eir neighborhoods on or around huacas. It also shows how residents organiz
 e and respond to these heritage protection policies by making huacas into 
 vehicles for political claim-making. I\, therefore\, trace a more recent t
 rajectory of huacas’ transformation from “empty” spaces to important
  sites for political struggles over the right to the city and rights to th
 e past. My analysis upends the conventional thinking about archaeological 
 preservation in Peru and in the Andes more broadly by arguing that incorpo
 rating neighboring residents’ knowledge and expectations into heritage m
 anagement is key to huaca survival.
