The village in the city: urban experiences through accounts of rural life in Belize
While conducting fieldwork in Belize City, Belize, I heard many comments and anecdotes about the villages that city dwellers or their parents came from. I initially took these glimpses of the rural as a somewhat nostalgic yet interesting feature of the everyday city conversations that provided me with some ideas about Belizean village life (of which I had little or no experi-ence). However, I came to realise that in talking of the rural, my interlocutors were in fact saying much about their own lives in the city.

Abstract
While conducting fieldwork in Belize City, Belize, I heard many comments and anecdotes about the villages that city dwellers or their parents came from. I initially took these glimpses of the rural as a somewhat nostalgic yet interesting feature of the everyday city conversations that provided me with some ideas about Belizean village life (of which I had little or no experi-ence). However, I came to realise that in talking of the rural, my interlocutors were in fact saying much about their own lives in the city.
