ABSTRACT

In this paper, we problematise the relationship between racism and immigrant integration policies. First, we approach racism from its geopolitical/institutional/governmental logic and contextualise the emergence of integration policies across the European Union. Then, we put into dialogue the fieldwork materials of our research projects, analysing intersections between the EU and Spanish integration policy frameworks. Despite the inclusive and proactive rhetoric often expressed by integration policies, we illustrate the existence of an ‘elective affinity’ between racism and integration by focusing on: (1) the construction of migrants as a problematic ‘object’ of governmental intervention; (2) the reduction of racism to an individual pathology and the underestimation of its institutional/structural dimensions; (3) the reproduction of epistemic racism through the discourse on European (and national) values.

摘要

在本文中，我们将种族主义与移民融合政策之间的关系问题化。首先，我们从地缘政治/制度/政府逻辑来处理种族主义，并将整个欧盟一体化政策的出现置于背景之中。然后，我们将研究项目的实地调查材料进行对话，分析欧盟和西班牙一体化政策框架之间的交叉点。尽管融合政策经常表达包容和积极的言论，但我们通过关注以下方面来说明种族主义与融合之间存在“选择性亲和力”：（1）将移民建设为政府干预的有问题的“对象”；(2) 将种族主义简化为个人病态，低估其制度/结构层面；
