- 'Roads' draws on the co-authors’ 10-year research collaboration (2005-2015). The work required the collection and analysis of a large body of material and integrates historical and ethnographic research, conducted in Spanish, English and Quechua. Ethnography (assisted by a post-doctoral researcher) was conducted in 2006-2007 along two Peruvian highways under construction, both in remote and hard-to-access Amazonian provinces. The research explored the everyday practices of a highly diverse range of actors in construction companies, local communities and government agencies. The book required a lengthy post-fieldwork period of collaborative writing and re-drafting, involving multiple presentations of drafts in seminars and conferences.
