Movilidades en tiempos hostiles. Migración kañari de Ecuador a Estados Unidos, 2000-2020
Sinopsis
Gioconda Herrera incorpora gran sofisticación analítica y años de involucramiento a este libro sobre las experiencias de movilidad restringida de una comunidad indígena que se desplaza entre Ecuador y la Costa este de Estados Unidos. En este texto de escritura muy accesible cobran vida las experiencias humanas de hacer el camino. Al mismo tiempo, la autora detalla las principales fuerzas sociales —en particular los regímenes migratorios y las construcciones de la ilegalidad— que han ejercido una profunda influencia sobre amplias regiones de Cañar, en la Sierra ecuatoriana, y sobre las comunidades migrantes indígenas en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XXI.
Movilidades en tiempos hostiles es un análisis reflexivo, solidario y conmovedor de las vidas de hombres y mujeres de Ecuador y de cómo su predicamento contribuye a desarrollar nuevos conocimientos en los debates existentes en el campo de los estudios migratorios. El libro logra “desnaturalizar” y “desmigrantizar” un campo de investigación a menudo limitado a números y categorías de estatus, a la vez que enlaza el aquí con el allá, el origen con el destino. Al seguir a personas a través de las distintas fases de sus trayectorias, su “desobediencia espacial” y la reconfiguración de su vida familiar a través de las fronteras, este libro —de argumentación brillante y bella exposición— se convierte en mucho más que otro análisis sobre la migración transnacional, pues conecta con cuestiones sociales amplias y relevantes para nuestro mundo contemporáneo.
