Abstract

ECHEVERRI B, María Margarita. Racialized otherness in the forced migration of afrocolombians to Antofagasta (Chile). Nómadas [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.91-103. ISSN 0121-7550.

This article establishes that in recent years, Chile has become a forced exile destination for Afro-descendants from the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Based on the characteristics of this migration network, the article analyzes the particularities of the Colombians' forced international displacement to Antofagasta, Chile, as well as the reconfiguration of the cultural representations they are subject to, and its connection with the production of racialized and sexualized political and social discourses. It concludes that these political and social discourses act as restrictive speech policies of transnational practices and socio-cultural incorporation on both sides of the border.

Keywords : forced migration; Colombia; Chile; transnational approach; racialization; exclusion.
