Abstract
[This chapter explores the relationship between the labor conditions of Nepali migrants in a free trade zone and the cultural intimacy of restaurants in Iquique, Chile. The restaurant represents neither an integrationist aspiration nor overt resistance to exploitative labor demands, but rather an improvisatory and flexible ethos that mirrors the subaltern and occasionally tactical adaptability of workers cultivated through multiple experiences working and living abroad. The adaptive ethos of the workers and restaurant expresses a migrant politics that sidesteps the dynamics of the free trade zone by seizing opportunities for place-making, future migrations, and labor possibilities.]
