This book explores how global migration transforms local dynamics
in the communal life of indigenous peoples in southern Ecuador. At
its heart, the focus is on Cañar, a region marked by more than
seven decades of migratory flows to the United States. Cañar
features one of the areas of greatest human mobility in the entire
Andean Region. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews and
dialogue-based workshops with indigenous youths, the author shows
how migratory processes and forms of self-representation have
challenged the idea that ethnic identity is tied to fixed cultural
patterns. He further shows how youths’ transnational experiences
reconfigure generational differences within indigenous communities.
In analyzing how transnational life, adultcentrism, gender power
dynamics, and institutional discourses intersect in the production
of indigenous youths’ subjectivities, this book provides an
innovative approach to the studies of indigenous peoples and
migration.
