VALCUENDE DEL RIO, José María y CACERES FERIA, Rafael. Bricheros: Sex, Race and Ethnicity in Tourist Settings. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2014, n.49, pp.72-86. ISSN 0123-885X.
The development of tourism in Peru has generated a new social phenomenon: the bricheros. This new term applies to Andean men who regularly seek to engage in sexual intercourse with foreign female tourists. In this paper, we examine the relationship between sex and tourism different case studies. We are particularly interested in studying the discourse dimension of bricherismo and its transformations in relation in both the tourist scene and the national context. Our analysis of the different meanings of sexual and affective relations between tourists and the local population will permit us to unveil the domination and subversion strategies brought into play in tourist contexts, which are usually in close connection with racial and gender issues.
