From labor circulation to international migration: the case of south-central Ecuador.

Resumen

"This paper describes the process, patterns, and scale of the international emigration phenomenon from south-central Ecuador. The phenomenon is placed in the historical context of agrarian change and patterns of migration/circulation in the sierra, drawing on field work from two subregions in Canar Province and linking it to Ecuadorian census and Immigration and Naturalization data."
