Gringolandia: North-South Migration and Global Inequality

Dr. Matthew Hayes – Canada Research Chair in Global and International Studies at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick – will talk about his new book Gringolandia: Lifestyle Migration under Late Capitalism. This book analyzes the impact lifestyle migrants – relatively affluent migrants moving from the Global North to Global South – have had on Cuenca, Ecuador, the country’s third-largest city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
