This paper is based on a biographical research focus on a clearer understanding of socio-cultural difference represented by migrants and their descendants in our western society and the multifaceted social interactions and experiences that influenced their sense of identity, belonging or affiliation. The overall objective of the research was to explore the lived experiences, problems and challenges faced by a Spanish Chinese youth and her family in various social, local and transnational contexts: school, family, community and society in general. This study was thought as a critical exploration on how a Spanish-born Chinese youth experienced, negotiated and expressed her sense of identity and social location across life course in different settings and moments of time.
