In the decade between 1998-2008, Spain became the main destination
for Ecuadorian migrants, and Madrid, Spain's capital, became the
city with the largest Ecuadorian population outside of Ecuador.
Through a combination of ethnographic research and cultural
analysis, this book addresses the interconnections between spatial
practices, cultural production, and definitions of citizenship in
migration dynamics between Ecuador and Spain, showing how
Ecuadorians are key actors in Madrid's recent urban history.
Looking at the city as form and content, constitutive and
constituting of ideological processes, each chapter analyzes the
spatial practices of Madrid's Ecuadorian residents through various
forms: the body, the home, public and leisure spaces, the city, the
nation, and transnational circuits. Rather than addressing migrants
as a general human type marked by (dis)placement, each chapter
offers an illustration of how Ecuadorian migrants forge
transnational processes through their everyday lives in specific
time and place, and how these processes manifest culturally on both
sides of the Atlantic.
