A place to live. The fight of migrants to gain access to the urban spaces of the city of Cordoba (Argentina)

Abstract

Based on an ethnographic field work made in Córdoba city (Argentina), this article seeks to contribute with the growing number of research that is wondering about migrant’s political agency. The main aim of the article is to analyze the ways in which the political practices of a group of Peruvian women living in the periphery of the city are related to the migratory processes that place them in Córdoba. To that purpose, the paper explores different struggles that are in the foreground of their experiences in the city. Hence, it shows the potentiality of analytically politicizing the migration phenomena, even beyond the specific moments in which migrants claim for rights socially conceived as migrant´s rights.
