Abstract

Given the renewed arrival of Spanish migrants in Brazil since 2008, I analyze how post/colonial power relations are re/configured and contradictions produced when legal and economic precarity question status hierarchies based on origin, race, and class. Brazil currently hosts the largest number of illegalized Spaniards worldwide. Illegality and precarity contest the favorable effects of nearly unconditional whiteness in Brazil and globally racialized, colonial power hierarchies. Derived from 2.5 years of ethnographic fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro since 2014, my interlocutors’ trajectories show how they struggle with and embrace the urban fabric and its structural post/colonial configuration.

摘要

鉴于自2008年以来西班牙移民重新抵达巴西，我分析了当法律和经济不稳定因素根据出身，种族和阶级来质疑地位等级时，如何重新/构造后/殖民权力关系以及产生矛盾。巴西目前拥有全世界数量最多的非法西班牙人。非法和car亵行为与巴西几乎无条件的白人和全球种族化的殖民势力等级制度的有利影响相抗衡。我的对话者的轨迹来自2014年在里约热内卢进行的2.5年的民族志田野调查，我的对话者的轨迹显示了他们如何与城市结构及其后后期/殖民地结构抗争并相互拥抱。
