La migración afrodescendiente en el Norte de Chile, 2000-2015: Identidad, estrategias de integración y mecanismos de exclusión/inclusión de la sociedad receptora
This study is focused on the current wave of migration of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean to Chile. This study analyses the situation of immigrants of African descent in the Arica and Parinacota, Tarapacá and Antofagasta regions that make up Chile’s Norte Grande. Given the fact that this part of the country shares borders with Peru and Bolivia, the local population has, in the past, been relatively more tolerant to immigrants than the rest of the...Show moreChile has been experiencing important economic growth since the 1980s, turning it into one of the most prosperous countries in Latin America. With the return to democracy in 1990, the country also regained high levels of political and social stability that still makes it stand out among the countries in the region. All this has caused an important level of migration of citizens from other Latin American countries, all wanting to participate of the economic prosperity and political stability that characterises Chile.
This study is focused on the current wave of migration of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean to Chile. This study analyses the situation of immigrants of African descent in the Arica and Parinacota, Tarapacá and Antofagasta regions that make up Chile’s Norte Grande. Given the fact that this part of the country shares borders with Peru and Bolivia, the local population has, in the past, been relatively more tolerant to immigrants than the rest of the country.
The first aim pf the study is to observe how these immigrants are received in said cities and, in particular, what the locals and immigrants of African descent think about their possibilities of being included in Chilean society and their impact on local identity. The aim is to contribute to the debate on migration processes in northern Chile. On one hand, how immigrants (re)construct their identity is also explored, as well as how local society in these cities adapts to either include and/or exclude this otherness. That is why attention is paid to both the expectations of how immigrants will be received as well as to these cities’ socio-political histories and how they were created and set up.
