This study examines two diverse transnational migrations from the Ecuadoran Andes: the southern region of Azuay sends undocumented labor migrants to North America; the northern region of Otavalo sends handicraft merchants and musicians to countries across the developed world. Although both regions share similar peasant and national level contexts, they differ in their ethnic make-up and the historical development of their regional political economies; Azuayan migrants are predominantly mestizo while the Otavalan migrants are indigenous Quichua-speakers. The design of this study is comparative and historical; its innovative element is that it highlights sociocultural and economic differences among four rural sending villages. Four types of data were gathered: (a) census surveys of 723 households and their adult members (n = 2,185) administered in four diverse Andean villages; (b) ethnographic research in Ecuador and New York City; (c) secondary historical and demographic data; and (d) physical maps of the villages showing the spatial relationships of key variables. The principal finding is that while transnational migration is embedded in regional processes of capital accmulation within a global economy its development and resulting social structures are socially constructed from the historical web of relations found at the most local level of ethnic and community membership. This fact can lead to divergent transnational flows and transcommunities among locales sharing common sociodemographic attributes and national membership.Subjects--Topical Terms:
