Racism experiences of the Haitian and African Immigration in Brazil

Abstract

The debate on racialization and racism used to be based on different perspectives, specifically under the approach that every country, community and/or group develops its own experience and categories of race and racism. The construction of racism in Brazil, which is constituted within a racialized society, has walked side by side with the country’s history of migration. The new migration wages of the XXI century shape a new situation where racism is expressed towards immigrant populations. How racially identified immigrants notice racism in Brazil, which still appears abroad through the myth of a racial democracy? This article seeks to facilitate a dialogue between the contemporary debates on the theories of identity and racism with the current racialized immigration, through analyzing papers and journal’s pieces.
