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. \u003ci\u003eThe Transnational \"Good Life\"\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute for the Study of the Americas","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52588952027416,"sku":"9781469662503","price":9.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-transnational-good-life-ecuadorian-social-clubs-as-spaces-of-resistance-paperback-softback-9781469662503","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
