- Description:
- Caviar, or izquierda caviar (“caviar left”), is a term in Peru that describes privileged actors who advocate for progressive causes. The label is typically employed by right-wing commentators to criticize politicians, intellectuals, and activists. An analysis of uses of “caviar” in Peruvian newspapers draws attention to the way the term comes to refer to the pursuit of wealth and influence through an embrace of progressive ideals and projects, as opposed to merely pointing to a correspondence between social privilege and left political views.
- Biography:
- Joseph Feldman is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Idaho's Martin Institute.
