Peruvian youth culture and family habits described in Lima
A fragment describes Lima residents with modern fridges yet kerosene stoves, young people in the Ratto household pursuing cosmopolitan fashions from Spanish French and American models. They attend American films wear heavy makeup dye hair and listen to Beatle records. They date late, marry after long courtships, and divorce is rare. A Peru president’s divorce is noted briefly.
