Abstract

GONZALEZ, OLGA L. REBUSQUE, A STRATEGY OF SOCIAL INTEGRATION BY COLOMBIAN IMMIGRANTS IN FRANCE. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.2, pp.251-279. ISSN 0486-6525.

This article examines the actions of Colombian migrants in Paris in their attempts to obtain social rights. The actions are classified under two axis: the first one, common in sociology, discriminates these actions as individual or collective. The second one, proposed by the author, organizes them according to strategies of rebusque or vindication. Empirical observation evidences a tendency of Colombian migrants towards indivual rebusque strategies. This situation contrasts with other national collectivities. The article develops the notion of rebusque and proposes it as a stimulating lense to decipher other types of actions

Keywords : rebusque; Colombian migrants; Paris; social rights; collective action; action sociology.
