The Transnational "Good Life" is an ethnographic study of the
founding and maintenance of social organizations by emigrants from
Ecuador in politically contested U.S. public spaces. By following
in the footsteps of W. E. B. Du Bois who coined the term "double
consciousness," this book posits that racialization, an inherent
characteristic of Global Apartheid, uniquely influenced the
construction of complex Ecuadorian migrant identities in the U.S.
The thematic focus is on the intersection of the empowerment
produced in the social clubs with the desire of individual members
to acquire the American Dream and the good life. This is an
"anthropology of the good," which brings to the forefront the lived
experiences of immigrants claiming a high level of pre-migratory
preparedness and success in the U.S. The Transnational "Good Life"
is an analysis of evolving relationships within and outside the
loosely connected network of Ecuadorian social clubs in the unique
cultural milieus of Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City.
