Summary 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 Caar, a region marked by more than seven decades of migratory flows to the United States. Caar 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. Jorge Daniel Vsquez is a Doctor in Education, a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and an upcoming Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of International Service at American University.
