O knihe

This book describes the findings of an ethnographic investigation that was carried out over three years with the Latin American community in New Zealand. The purpose of this research was to explore and learn about the quality of life of these people in New Zealand. But also, knowing how they define and perceive their quality of life in that country. Therefore, this writing shows how the Latin American community in New Zealand defines and perceives its quality of life. It also shows what are the challenges that impact their quality of life in that country. This research used a mixed-method approach with both, qualitative and quantitative research methods. Although a quantitative method using an online survey was employed, the core of the study remained qualitative, with the adoption of ethnography and autoethnography as research methodologies. The study includes three data collection methods, semi-structured interviews, digital ethnography (which includes observation of the participants through Facebook), and an anonymous online survey. The participants recruited for the interviews were nine refugees and 11 immigrants from eight Latin American countries.
