Les migrations africaines contemporaines en Amérique latine

Las migraciones africanas contemporáneas en América Latina

In the first two decades of the 21st century, the steady influx of African migrants into Latin America has nourished debates among governments and highlighted the emergence of new migratory, social, and cultural phenomena in the region. This dossier provides in-depth analyses that shed light on the complexity of these trajectories from north to south across the continent, shaped by varying durations of transit, precarious settlements, and distinct temporalities. Through four case studies, it examines how these journeys also give rise to new mechanisms of control, redefine identities, and reshape processes of racialization. At the same time, these mobilities foster the emergence of unprecedented forms of solidarity and collective action within host societies. From this perspective, each article aims to explore African migrations through a specific identity and social lens: the position of Angolan migrants in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, the deterritorialization of Sufi Islam in Argentina, collective action against discrimination in southern Brazil, and finally, the agency of African migrants in circumventing the numerous barriers along migratory routes.
